Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces of cream cheese room temperature
  • 4 ounces of goat cheese room temperature
  • 1 TB finely chopped rosemary
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste I use several twists of my pepper mill
  • 4 ounces ginger preserves I use Mackays

Instructions
 

  • Mix cream cheese, goat cheese, black pepper and rosemary well. I did it by hand which was very easy because it was at room temperature. But you could always do it in your food processor.
  • Line a small bowl or ramekin with saran wrap. (I used a 12 ounce ramekin)
  • Put the cream cheese mixture in the bowl and wrap saran wrap around it. Push down so that it evenly fills the bottom of your ramekin.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • When you are ready to serve, pull the cheese out of the ramekin by pulling on the saran wrap.
  • Invert in on your plate and smooth out any wrinkles that the saran wrap may have caused.
  • Warm up the ginger preserves slightly and pour over the cheese.
  • Serve with crackers, but this pairs especially well with Fruit and Nut Crisps, link in post.
