FMM: I made this one year for Thanksgiving, minus the berries, using toasted and chopped pecans. Everyone really liked it.

1 (10.5-oz.) goat cheese log
1/2 cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup honey
1 pt. fresh raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries
Garnish: fresh mint leaves
Assorted crackers

Press or roll goat cheese log in sunflower seeds, thoroughly covering cheese, including ends. Arrange cheese on a serving platter with any remaining sunflower seeds.

Drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with berries. Garnish, if desired.
