Cranberry Pistachio Vegan Cashew Cheese Log

1. Soak cashews in water for 4 hours. Drain and rinse well, then place into a blender with sauerkraut brine, lemon juice and melted and cooled coconut oil. Blend until very smooth.

2. Place cashew mixture into a very clean glass jar with an airtight lid. Leave in a warm spot out of direct sunlight to ferment for 24 hours, or until it is very bubbly. Transfer to a bowl and stir through salt, pistachio and cranberries.

3. Place the cashew cheese in the fridge for 2+ hours to firm up, then transfer to a piece of baking paper and roll into a tight log. You can leave the cheese log this way for up to a week, until its ready to serve.

4. When you're ready to serve remove the cheese log from the fridge. Add the extra pistachio and cranberries to a food processor and finely chop, then lay onto a plate. Roll cheese log into the chopped mixture, using your fingers to press the topping into the cheese. Drizzle with optinoal honey. Serve on a cheese platter with crackers,fruit or whatever else you like.
