Brie + Cactus Jelly

You might be tired of hearing me talk about how hot it is here, but I’m going to probably keep mentioning it until the real feel temperature isn’t 110 degrees outside. With that being said, it’s good to have some easy snack ideas on hand that don’t require the oven. I’ve mentioned it before, but summer is the best time to make easy, refreshing foods/recipes like the bruschetta one I shared here recently. Today I’m sharing another easy snack, again incorporating baguette.

Last summer I went to Arizona, Sedona specifically, and came back with jars of cactus jelly. I sliced up some baguette, spread some cactus jelly on each slice, and put a few slices of brie on each baguette slice. Brie with any fruit and/or jam or jelly is always delicious and the combination of brie and cactus jelly, while perhaps not very common, was nonetheless absolutely delectable.
