Expert Tips

If you like spicy foods, try substituting red or green jalapeño jelly for the cherry preserves. It's a delicious touch of sweet and spice!

Go ahead and assemble the cups and bake up to 4 hours in advance, omitting the final bake time for melting the cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. Right before serving, heat at 375° just until warm and cheese is melted.

Arrange these pretty appetizer cups on tiered serving plates with fresh rosemary and cherries.

These were very good with a couple tweeks, pecans and chive were pointless. Way better to leave them off and they were still very pretty and tasted better. I used blackberry jam. I will be making this again! My mom already asked me to bring it again for Christmas.

Very simple and tasty recipe. I used red pepper jelly instead of the cherry preserves and I didn't have chives on hand so I omitted that part. Next time I will use red and green pepper jelly for a holiday appetizer.
