Three Cheese Grilled Cherry Sandwich

A hot and melty Cherry Fig Jam and three-cheese grilled cheese.

In terms of comfort food, a gooey grilled cheese sandwich is the comfiest. As much as we love the original American cheese version, there are hundreds of cheeses and other add-ons out there to really spruce up this classic. We assigned our head chef with the enviable task of using our Savory Cherry Fig Jam in a delicious grilled cheese sandwich.

Update! A loyal Citizen of the Republic from Palo Alto, CA, recently shared her take on this recipe, changing it up a bit to make it even more delicious:

I baked the sandwiches open face with some deli ham, cheddar cheese, and halved fresh figs on top until the cheese was melted. Thanks to you, I now have a new favorite food!
