These were unusual and delicious. I made them for a small reception and they were enjoyed very much. -
Absolutely wonderful! I made exactly as written; loved the tang of the blue cheese with the bite of the cayenne pepper, and the sweetness of the cherry preserves! Perfect! Made for Summer Photo Tag 2012. -
Yummm, this is the type of dish I could eat all night and day! I cut the recipe in half and I did not add the poppy seeds for personal reasons. I made half of them with the cherry preserves and the other half with a green pepper jelly. BOTH were very tasty! These would be good during the holidays. Thanks for posting, breezermom. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
