How to make Goat’s Cheese Balls with Rosemary and Chilli Honey and Fresh Cherries.

Collect all your ingredients together:

For the honey:

• runny honey
• fresh rosemary
• chilli flakes

For the cheese and cherries

• soft white goat’s cheese
• fresh cherries

How to make these balls and honey:

1. First make the Rosemary and Chilli Honey – put the honey in a saucepan with 1 sprig of fresh rosemary and bring to a gentle simmer over a low heat. Immediately take off the heat
2. Bash the rosemary with a wooden spoon or the end of a rolling pin to extract the flavours from the rosemary. Leave to infuse and cool for at least 10 minutes.
3. Remove the rosemary from the honey.
4. Make the cheese balls and serve – cut the goat’s cheese into 16 equal portions and roll into balls.
5. Put the cheese into a serving bowl and drizzle with the rosemary honey.
6. Serve garnished with fresh, chopped rosemary leaves and cherries.
7. Store, covered, in the fridge but allow to come to room temperature before serving.

Lyngen Lodge

Last April, we were lucky enough to be included in Chris Mathias’ 60th birthday celebration at Lyngen Lodge in Norway. Every breakfast and afternoon tea included incredible grazing boards. This is a fabulous recipe which I love to include on Grazing Boards and have therefore included it in my collection of recipes to celebrate the wonderful food we enjoyed there.
