Crackers with Goat Cheese & Fig Jam

 
This post is going to be short and sweet.  This isn't really a recipe.  More like an appetizer/snack idea that I just happened to throw together one day.  I wasn't planning it and I didn't buy any special ingredients.  I was just plain hungry and looking for a snack the other day.  I seem to have goat cheese on hand a lot lately, and I always have crackers.  But that wasn't enough....I needed something else, something sweet to offset the tang of the goat cheese.  That's when I stumbled upon the jar of fig jam in my fridge.  Hmmm....OK, figured I'd give it a try.

It was really no surprise how good this was.  I've done the brie and fig jam appetizer (click here for recipe) so it was pretty much a no brainer that these flavors would go together.  The only thing I was shocked at was how well they went together.  So perfectly matched - the tangy goat cheese with the really sweet fig jam....oh man!  I'm going to have to get rid of these two things from my fridge before I gorge myself on these little tasty bites!  Try it - you won't be disappointed ☺  I will definitely be using this as an appetizer at future gatherings!

  Crackers with Goat Cheese & Fig Jam

Crackers - your favorite kind, I like salty ones with this combo
Goat Cheese (I always get local Vermont brands)
Fig Jam

Top the crackers with the cheese, then a little jam (fig jam is pretty sweet, so a little goes a long way).  My stomach is growling just thinking about this fabulous snack - ENJOY!
