Recipe for Cranberry Pecan Chevre Spread

So many of our visitors are requesting the recipe for the cheese pairing for the Syrapé that I promised to blog about it.

We had been pairing the wine with the Celebrity Cranberry Goat Cheese but it is a seasonal item at both Costco and Trader Joe's. Once again the old adage that necessity is the mother of invention rings true. Below is the recipe. It's easy, quick and as long as you have a Trader Joe's near by, fairly economical. The best part is that tasters prefer it to the original pairing! I love it when a plan comes together!

Cranberry Pecan Chevre

1 log Trader Joe’s Goat Cheese w/ honey
1 8 oz. Cream Cheese
1 pkg. Trader Joe’s Rosemary Pecans with/cranberries
1 pkg. Trader Joe’s Dried Cranberries (or to taste)
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Blend all above ingredients in food processor.

Pair with Syrapé. If you are out, go to www.percazocellars.com and place an order.
