Receta Sweet and Savory Bacon Jam, Fromage Fort, and Toasted Walnuts and Raisins
Ingredientes
- fish around in the cheese drawer, I can usually come up with some mozzarella
- T. And, candidly, even though I am great
- garlic lover, the “stinking rose” was overpowering. This was actually easy to fix. I just added 8
- more ounces of cream cheese. However, I’d suggest one of two things: Either
- take the 3-4 garlic cloves called for, wrap them in tinfoil and roast them in a
- 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or add the garlic one clove at a time, tasting
- as you go until you hit the desired level of garlic. Either way, this is a wonderful discovery
- which changes completely depending on the cheese you have on hand. Brie,
- Cheddar, farmer cheese, Chevre, Roquefort, Mozzarella and really any other
- cheese can be used here.
- 1.
- Gather together 1 pound of leftover cheese (3 kinds is enough, 6
- or 7 will be even better). Trim off any mold or very dried out parts from the
- surface. Toss as many as 3 or 4 peeled cloves of garlic into a food processor
- and process for several seconds until coarsely chopped. Add the cheese to the
- garlic along with 1/2 cup dry white wine and at least 1 teaspoon of freshly
- ground black pepper. Process until the mixture becomes soft and creamy, about
- 30 seconds.
- 2.
- Remove the mixture from processor and transfer it to a crock or
- bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

- This
- takes a good hour and half to make and another 30 minutes before you can serve
- it. It makes 1 ½ to 2 cups of jam. Since
- it keeps in the fridge in an air tight container, Stacey says you can double or
- triple the recipe. All I can say is,
- that’s a lot of Bacon Jam. Stacey went
- whole hog and left all the bacon fat in the pan. I drained a good portion of it. I let you decide which to do.
