In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
Shape the Ring:
Scoop the cheese mixture onto a serving plate lined with parchment paper. Using your hands, shape the mixture into a ring, leaving a hole in the center. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Add the Pecans:
Press the chopped pecans gently onto the surface of the cheese ring, covering it completely for a crunchy exterior.
Chill:
Cover the cheese ring with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. This step helps the flavors meld together and makes it easier to serve.
Add the Preserves:
Just before serving, spoon the strawberry preserves into the center of the ring, filling it generously.
Serve:
Place the cheese ring on a platter surrounded by crackers or toasted baguette slices.
