Instructions: Minutes to soften. Line a 2 cup bowl with plastic wrap, letting wrap hang over the sides. Blend the 3 cheeses with vinegar, salt and a few grinds of pepper in food processor or mixer until smooth.

Turn the mixture into the wrap-lined bowl and press down firmly to pack. Fold wrap over to cover and chill until firm, several hours or overnight.

About 30 minutes before serving, take cheese spread from refrigerator and turn out onto a serving plate. Peel off plastic wrap. Wash, hull and slice berries lengthwise. Rinse, dry and cut or tear basil leaves into small pieces.

Press berry slices into cheese and arrange around perimeter of plate. Grind some fresh pepper over berries and scatter with fresh basil. Serve with crackers so guests can spread cheese mixture and top with berry slices.
