Hello there and Happy Fall!
Here is a Fall Fruit & Cheese Appetizer that is a little bit of yum… Black Plum & Goat Cheese w/ Honey, Ginger, & Sage. It’s earthy, unusual, and another beautiful contender to take to a holiday party. You could bring the Fig Appetizer (one post back) alongside this one, and the combo would be perfect for a Fall gathering. They both have goat cheese and honey, so they’d be convenient to make together, and would be oh so pretty sitting together, side by side!

Hi there!
How are you?! I’ve missed you all! It’s been a minute…
On this lovely 87 degree Fall day in Temecula, I thought I’d share an appetizer that I’ve been working on!
At this time of year, I try to pretend when I’m cooking or baking that it’s not 80-90 degrees outside- it’s almost the end of October after all… jeez… we have had a 60 degree day or two for the record, but definitely not as many as I’d like. So… when it’s 87 degrees out, I put on the AC which is absolutely necessary at these temperatures, and I turn on the oven. But… what if you could find an appetizer that you didn’t have to bake? Wouldn’t that be great in Temecula and surrounding areas in October! I know that Joshua Tree and Palm Springs are experiencing even higher temps than we are, so YES, we would all love that alternative if possible…right?!?!
Wouldn’t it be lovely to bring a delicious gourmet appetizer to a party or gathering that required no cooking or baking? One that would be perfect for Thanksgiving get-togethers or a Halloween party? Well… these are easy to make, ooey gooey, and can be served warm or cool. They’re both sweet and savory, really satisfying, and beautiful to look at, too!
