Honey Pistachio Goat Cheese Appetizer

I have to admit that I have a small obsession with honey. When I travel, the souvenir I always come home with is honey from that region. I think my love for honey began when I first tasted honey in the honey comb that my grandpa Kempton brought his “grand chickens” to taste. Its smooth sweetness had a depth to it that was and still is indescribable. I caught  glimpses of him tending to his bees on his St David, Arizona land. Land he loved deep in his soul. I think amazing honey tastes like love and nurturing, and feels like watching the brilliant colors of a desert sunset on the roof of a barn as the heat of the day mellows into the peace of evening. Remember how much you are loved as you bite into this bit of savory, sweet, crunchy goodness!

Honey Pistachio Goat Cheese Appetizer 

1 log of goat cheese halved lengthwise
1/4 cup raw unfiltered honey (I order mine from Blessed Buy Isreal)
2 Tbsp fig preserves
1/2 cup pistachios roughly chopped
Appetizer crackers for serving

Set the goat cheese on your serving dish. Warm the honey and fig preserves in a glass dish in the microwave for a few seconds. Stir  and drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the goat cheese. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve with crackers.
