Ingredients

Sun-Dried Tomato Jam:

  • 1 (8-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped, oil reserved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Crostini:

  • 1 baguette, cut into 3/4-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

For the Sun-dried Tomato Jam:

Directions

Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and beginning to brown at the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar, water, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue simmering until most of the liquid is reduced and the mixture is the consistency of jam, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

For the Crostini:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.

Place the baguette slices on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the baguette slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes.

Place the soft goat cheese in a small bowl. Stir in the thyme.

To assemble:

Spread the crostini with Sun-Dried Tomato Jam and top with the goat cheese and herb mixture. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.

    Great Recipe with many uses

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This appetizer had great flavor. I used feta in place of the goat cheese. As others have indicated I cooked the jam for about... 30 minutes longer than the time listed.I added the leftover jam to spaghetti sauce and used it to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Delicious!Read more

    Amazing!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this for a labor day party. I doubled the recepie, but it was still very simple to make. It did take longer to thicken... that what the recepie calls for. But what I recommend is when you take the lid off to "simmer for 5 more minutes" turn the heat up really high to really cook off that extra liquid. This was delicious and I recommend it to anyone trying to impress!!Read more
