Time 28m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup water
3 dried peach halves (about 2 ounces), coarsely chopped
1/2 cup toasted pecans
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 medium log fresh goat cheese (about 11 ounces)

Steps:

Warm the bourbon and water in a small saucepan, add the peaches, and set aside until plump, about 15 minutes.
Put the toasted pecans and Cajun seasoning in a mini chopper and pulse until the nuts are finely ground but not pasty. Spread the nut mixture on a large plate. Roll the goat cheese in the mixture, pressing firmly to coat the whole log generously.
Slice the cheese into rounds and arrange on a platter. Top with the chopped peaches and juices.
