Cream Cheese Ball with Cheddar and Pecans

2 (8-ounce) packages reduced-fat cream cheese - at room temperature

⅓ cup strawberry preserves

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

6 to 10 dashes hot sauce - such as Tabasco (I like this little hotter, so we go closer to 10, but if you’d like a sweeter cheese ball, stick to the lower end)

1 cup freshly shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup raw pecan pieces

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

subheading: FOR SERVING:

Crackers or baguette slices - (I like buttery Ritz-type crackers or town house crackers)
