Goat Cheese And Jam: Perfect Pairings For Your Palate

Combining jam and cheese is a tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages, and while it may sound like an unusual pairing, it's a great way to bring out the subtler flavours of each ingredient. The key to a successful pairing is balance: generally, strongly-flavoured cheeses pair well with strongly-flavoured jams, and the same goes for milder options. When it comes to goat cheese, or chevre, almost any jam will work, but some popular combinations include fig jam, cranberry sauce or jelly, and marmalade. For a simple, elegant appetiser, try drizzling warmed apricot jam over goat cheese and topping with pistachio nuts and fresh thyme.
