Brie and Fig Jam Appetizers (they’re even Hollywood Bowl-worthy)

Brie and fig jam appetizers are worthy of being brought to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. And if I’m being completely honest, I’d say they’re a bit addictive!

Say what you will, but I’m smitten.

I don’t know what attracts me so: separately, I’m not that enamored of any one of the three, but together–oh my, what a combination!

If you recall, I do not eat fresh figs, but when I was given a box of them, I decided to turn them into some jars of lovely Orange Fig Jam, and did it in no time.

Last Saturday, I went to an oudoor symphony with my friend, Marie, and we brought a picnic. These Brie and Fig Jam Appetizers were the highlight of our meal; we just kept making them, and could not stop eating them! A little addictive? Possibly.

The next evening, they accompanied me with my friend, Julia, to the Hollywood Bowl, and yes, they were even “Bowl-worthy” (hey, you can’t just bring anything to picnic at the Hollywood Bowl).

If you are looking for love, I can almost guarantee you’re going to find it in these crispy little bites of heaven. I’m not saying any more. Just try them–you won’t be sorry.
