I made this for an afternoon tea party with friends and it was delicious!! I made it with fig, and later tried it with cherry. I preferred the fig, but both were good. I would recommend it and will definitely make it again.

These are delicious. I also like just the blue cheese mixture on crackers!! The only thing I wanted to know was how long the mixture could be stored! (if it lasts that long!)
