A hot jelly spread hijacked from a craft fair in Maine.
-Full Post-
Toast pecans lightly in a toaster oven for a minute or two or until fragrant, then chop fine. Combine the chopped dates, bourbon, honey and rosemary in a small microwaveable bowl or ramekin and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir up and microwave again for 30 more seconds. Combine the mango chutney, pecans and blue cheese with the date mixture and stir up well. Serve at room temperature by gooping over a block of cream cheese, or arrange on crackers.
This is a take on pepper jelly spreads, which I think of as a mid-century modern thing, like Danish furniture. In this case you don't need a pepper jelly, but if you want some you can't do better than to grab a jar from the Hot Jelly Lady at Grey Goose Gourmet, available by mail order or happenstance at various craft fairs in Maine.
