Blackberry Goat Cheese Spread

I am transferring all of the recipes from my soon to be defunct food blog to this blog!  Here's a good one!

I threw this together when I somehow coerced my friend, Bri, came over to watch The Bachelor with me (even though it is one of the most ridiculous things ever, I can’t.stop.watching.it).  Bri is lactose intolerant, so I wanted to make something she could have.

I love the contrasts within this, too!  The sweetness of the preserves, mixed with the tang of the goat cheese and the saltiness of the crackers is a delicious contrast.  Plus, I love the visual contrast of the dark purple preserves and the white cheese.  Not to mention the textural contrast of the crispy crackers and smooth cheese.  All the good things!

Plus, you only need to pick up two ingredients

and whatever you choose to use as a dipper.  I just grabbed the thin wheat crackers.
