Pass It On Plates

Roasted Garlic Jelly on ciabatta

This week's Recipe of the Week isn't so much of a recipe but more of an interesting food idea. Why not pick up some interesting food from a local farmers market this summer? How about a jar of locally made jam from one vendor and a loaf of bread from another?

The idea came from Pam & Frank, who commented:

This would be a neat idea for a Pass It On Plate. I found this jam in a little Italian gift shop and plan to put it on a Pass It On Plate with some ciabatta bread for a gift.

Frank got garlic jelly one year for Christmas. He's a huge garlic freak and often gets something garlicky. For whatever reason, this jar ended up in the back of the cupboard and it was forgotten. Not too long ago, during a cupboard clean out it was re-discovered, opened, and thoroughly enjoyed.

Here it is spread over butter on half a ciabatta roll. Mmm. So so good.
I'm going to have to find a recipe for it and make more.
