Prosciutto, Chevre &
Blueberry Canapés
 

Jam Ingredients: (makes 3 cups)
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. allspice
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
Grated zest of 1/2 orange
Fresh thyme

Directions:
In large heavy saucepan combine all of the ingredients (except for fresh thyme) and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered.  Stir occasionally until thickened -- approximately 25 minutes.  (This jam sets fast)

Crust Ingredients:
6 Tbsp. softened butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/3 cups flour

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 and butter a 9 inch square baking pan.  Beat softened butter in large bowl with a mixer until light and fluffy.  Beat in sugar; stir in flour with a wooden spoon until crumbly.  Press dough into the bottom of 9 inch baking pan and bake 20 minutes.

Filling Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. cornmeal
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. white vinegar
3 eggs

Filling Directions:
Beat the butter and sugar with mixer until light and fluffy.  Mix in cornmeal, vanilla, vinegar and eggs until thoroughly blended.  Pour over crust.  Return to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until filling is nearly set.  Cool on a wire rack and then cut into squares.

Other Ingredients:
Chevre (Goat cheese)
Prosciutto

Assembly:
Assemble each square by placing prosciutto in one corner, chevre on the opposite corner and drizzle jam between the two.  Serve and enjoy.
