Ingredients List
- Blue Cheese Spread with Onion-Pear Jam
- ~~~~~~~~~~Blue Cheese Spread:~~~~~~~~~~~
- 16 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 8 oz. shredded Asiago cheese
- 8 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup heavy cream

- ~~~~~~~~~~~~Onion-Pear Jam:~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 4 cups sweet onions, diced
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 2 cups pears, peeled, diced
- 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Directions
For the cheese spread:
Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment cream cheeses together until smooth.
Add cream and mix until fully incorporated.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Put into a crock or into a mold (like I did) and place in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to get the flavors to really develop.
For the Onion-Pear Jam:
In a medium sized saucepan add the oil and onions and sauté for about 2 minutes.
Add pears, vinegar, sugar, cayenne and salt.
Bring to a boil stirring the whole time.
Then reduce to simmer.
Simmer until the liquids have gone and you have jam like consistency.
It took about 3 hours for mine to fully reduce. Just keep an eye on it and stir about every 20 minutes.
Place jam on top of cheese spread. It”™s also delish with chicken or pork as well.
