  • Savory Blue Cranberry Shortbread with Caramelized Onion Cranberry Jam

Ingredients:

SHORTBREAD
8 ounces crumbled Stilton or Gorgonzola cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup Ocean Spray® Craisins® Original Dried Cranberries coarsely chopped

JAM
1/4 cup butter
1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup Ocean Spray® Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
1/2 cup Ocean Spray® Cranberry Juice Cocktail
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup red wine
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

TO MAKE SHORTBREAD: Combine cheese and unsalted butter in large mixing bowl with paddle mixer or in food processor bowl; mix or process until creamy. Mix flour, kosher salt and pepper in small bowl. Add to cheese mixture, a little at a time, beating or pulsing just until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add dried cranberries; mix or process just until moist clumps start to form. (If dough is not coming together to form clumps, add 1 tablespoon water to dough and blend or process until moist clumps start to form.)

Transfer dough to large sheet of plastic wrap; knead gently with palms and heels of hands until dough holds together. Shape dough into 5 x 2 1/2-inch log. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour or up to 3 days.

Meanwhile, TO MAKE JAM: Melt 1/4 cup butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden and tender. Stir in remaining jam ingredients; increase heat to high. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes or until cranberries burst and mixture is thickened to consistency of loose jam. Set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet.

Remove dough from refrigerator and unwrap. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown. If baking both sheets at once, rotate halfway through baking time. Cool on wire racks. Serve with jam.

Makes 20 appetizers.

I love the sweet buttery-ness with the slight tartness of the cranberries! I would have never thought to pair onions and cranberries let alone put them on shortbread! GREAT combination of flavors!
