Goat Cheese & Fig Jam Toasts

Contributed by: Melinda

Serve this unusual dish after dinner with a nice dessert wine or sparkling wine. It also makes an elegant appetizer. These can be something your guests put together and eat, or you can prepare a tray in advance, fully 'dressed'. I like to use Cloverdale Wildflower honey or Orange Blossom honey.

8 oz. plain chevre
1 lb fresh ripe black mission figs
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbl honey
1/4 cup water or 2 tbl water & 2 tbl fruity white wine
pinch salt
1 sourdough baguette, sliced and toasted
Additional thyme leaves, thyme blossoms, chopped chives, grated lemon rind for garnish

Bring goat cheese to room temperature (or warm slightly in the microwave)
Remove stems from figs and cut into quarters and place into a small saucepan
Add honey, thyme, water and wine if using
Bring to a low boil, reduce heat and simmer until figs have broken down and the jam is thickened
Allow to cool to room temperature
To serve, spread some goat cheese on a toasted crostini, place a teasponful of jam on top, garnish
