Reviews
I had some figs to use up with some very special mixed nut butter that I had bought online from Susan Schaefer Schaefer. I made it with goat’s milk cheese and some sour dough bread. It turned out very well but I probably wouldn’t make it again.
I ended up making this with cashews and mascarpone cheese and it was divine! Very unusual so my husband did not like it but I loved the combination of savoury with sweet and the drizzle of honey at the end took it over the top. Reminded me of a vegetarian pate. Elegant, unique and I thought, absolutely delicious.
