Gorgonzola Cheese, Fig And Pecan Cracker

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I made a half recipe using 4 oz. of American Spoon Fig Conserve instead of stewing my own figs. Spread over stone ground wheat crackers it was a delicious, rich flavor. "Sweet and Snappy," one guest quipped. Made the day before this is a simple, but tasty, cocktail treat.
