Hot Pepper Jam and Brie Cups Recipe

Hot Pepper Jam and Brie Cups Recipe

These cuties are seriously the easiest and most delectable bites and are suitable for any occasion. They are essentially baked brie (one of my favorite cheeses), and hot pepper jelly.  Easy Peasy.

Ingredients

• 15 Mini frozen Phyllo cups (We used Athens Mini Fillo Shells)

• Cherchies® Strawberry Hot Pepper Jam (Cherchies® Cherry Hot Pepper Jam, Cherchies® Cranberry Hot Pepper Jam, or Cherchies® Seedless Blackberry Preserves or Cherchies® Cranberry Preseves with Champagne would make a nice substitution)

• 1/2 Brie Cheese Wheel (about 6 0z.)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Remove rind from brie and cut into chunks (about 1 teaspoon).

Place phyllo cups on a baking tray and add a Brie chunk to each cup.  Add about 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) hot pepper jam of choice.  Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes, or until brie just begins to melt.  Remove from oven and serve warm or room temperature.  Help Yourself!

Cherry Hot Pepper Bruschetta Recipe

Cherry Hot Pepper Bruschetta Recipe

Red, white, and bleu:)  Summer cherries make my mouth salivate, and this recipe is perfect as a quick appetizer or a snack.  The hot pepper jam adds a nice kick to the cherries.  If you would prefer a sweeter version of this recipe, without the kick, then try our Strawberry or Cherry Butters.

Who says you have to save this for guests?  Treat yourselves to these little morsels...go ahead, it's ok:)

Ingredients

• 1 cup cherries (dark summer cherries are the best...could also use frozen cherries that have been defrosted), pitted and chopped

• 3-4 Tablespoons (Tbsp) Cherchies Cherry Hot Pepper Jam (could substitute Cherchies Strawberry or Cranberry Hot Pepper Jelly, or for a little less kick, try our Cherry and Strawberry Butters.

• Blue Cheese, crumbled

• 1-2 Tablespoons slivered almonds

• Baguette, sliced

Preparation

Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch slices and set aside.  Turn the grill on to high, allowing the grill to heat up for 5 minutes, then turn grill down to low.  Place baguette slices on grill and brown for a few minutes on each side. The bread will be slightly toasted on each side but yet soft in the middle...a perfect base for the bruschetta mixture.

Doesn't that look pretty?  Next, pit the cherries and coarsely chop.

In a medium bowl, mix the cherries with the Cherchies Cherry Hot Pepper Jam.  You could stop right here and just eat spoonfuls of this glorious mixture.  But wait, there's more!

The assembly...Make sure to do this just as guests arrive.  Lay the grilled bread slices on a platter. Generously top the grilled baguette slices with the cherry mixture.  Then, sprinkle the slices with the blue cheese and almonds.  Heaven!  Enjoy.
