Grilled Peach-Jalapeno Compote Appetizer

Cook over medium-high heat until beginning to caramelize. Deglaze pan with 2-3 tablespoons dry sherry and 1 tablespoon butter and simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed.

Now, take peaches and jalapenos out of marinade and grill over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking. Apricots cook the fastest, followed by peaches and finally the jalapeno. Cook until each is lightly browned on the skins.

Remove from heat and puree grilled peaches, apricots and jalapeno in a food processor along with the caramelized shallots and:

1 additional teaspoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon powdered cumin

1/2 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Season to taste with sea salt

To serve:

Place compote in a baking dish and sprinkle 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top. Broil just until heated through and feta begins to brown. Spoon over a mound of the cheese mixture (equal parts cream cheese, goat cheese and crumbled gorgonzola ... we use about a half cup of each and mix well). Garnish with finely diced fresh jalapeno and serve with crostini or sturdy crackers.
