Peppered Goat Cheese with Citrus-Carrot Marmalade

Category: Dips-served cold

1 large lemon, zested, seeded, and chopped into small pieces
1 large orange, zested, seeded, and chopped into small pieces
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
1/2 cup(s) honey
3/4 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) water
1/4 cup(s) fresh orange juice
1/4 cup(s) fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon(s) grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoon(s) fresh-cracked black peppercorns
2 log(s) (4 ounces each) goat cheese

Directions

Make the marmalade: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add all ingredients except the pepper and cheese and cook, uncovered, stirring until fruit becomes translucent -- about 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
Make the goat-cheese log: Carefully unwrap the cheese, keeping the logs intact. Place pepper on a sheet of waxed paper and roll goat-cheese logs in pepper. Serve goat cheese with Citrus-Carrot Marmalade and water crackers

Serves 8.
