Creamy Cheeses, Roasted Dates, Cold Champagne, Hot Toddies - ‘Tis the Season to Enjoy Fireside Living to the Fullest. This holiday season when you want to kick back and relax with family and friends - whether it be weeknight or weekend - there’s nothing simpler than pulling together a cheese board or grazing board to enjoy fireside. We’ve got a delicious way to make yours memorable with minimal effort and maximum flavor.
You might even say it’s the adult version of a s’more - melty, creamy brie topped with raspberry jam, roasted pecans, and a little thyme in a cast iron skillet smeared over a baguette round you’ve just toasted over the fire.
Use any of your favorite jams or take a shortcut and use an herbal jam from Sallie’s Greatest or Blackberry Patch and already roasted and salted pecans from Schermer Pecans.
And, we’re putting a new spin on a favorite holiday hors d'oeuvre - Devils on Horseback - plump pitted dates stuffed with goat cheese or blue cheese and wrapped in bacon. Place on our roasting forks and cook them over the open fire. It’s a treat we can’t stop craving.
Our crew loves the contrast of serving both cold champagne and hot cocktails. We’ve found a Hot Toddy we love from The Pioneer Woman and a delicious warm cranberry orange sangria via Ty Pennington. When looking for the right champagne, Andre Melchionda of Arrivato Imports recommends Moet & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot. If you really want a great experience, then go all in with a nice bottle of Dom Perignon.
If you light the fire, we’ll bring the delicious ideas to get you Fired Up!
