Goat Cheese Ball with Candied Walnuts
Recipe by Jason Hill – CookingSessions.comThis gourmet cheese ball recipe uses just three premium ingredients — goat cheese, candied walnuts and a savory cherry and balsamic vinegar jam. I love the premium quality and whole fruits used in Lemon Bird Jams, but in a
pinch you can use your favorite jam. Just be sure it has nice bits of chunky fruit in it.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces goat cheese softened
- 1/4 cup Cherry Honey & Balsamic Vinegar Jam or more to your taste
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped candied walnuts
Instructions
- Place goat cheese in a mixing bowl
- Roughly chop the larger pieces of fruit in the jam and add to the softened goat cheese.
- Let sit overnight in the refrigerator, if possible.
- Roll cheese into a ball, then roll in the chopped nuts.
- Chill until ready for service.
- When you serve the cheese ball, you can drizzle it with some of the juice from the jam for your guests.
