BBQ Party: "Sunshine in a Bite" sundried tomatoes and salami appetizer recipe
With fall around the corner, it’s the perfect time to ramp up the summer BBQ parties and enjoy the warm weather while its here. My recipe for “Sunshine in a Bite” sundried tomatoes and salami crackers will hold your hamburger and corn-on-the-cob loving guests at bay while you grill up a storm.
I love this recipe because it is easy to make, looks fabulous, and the saltiness of the salami paired with the sweetness of the sundried tomatoes is delight for the taste buds. The slight tartness of the sundried tomatoes also provides a nice contrast to the flavorful fatiness of the salami.
Here’s the scoop on how to make my “Sunshine in a Bite”.
1. Take a cracker that has a lot of crunch in it but not too much flavor or butter in it. A water cracker is perfect.
2. Set a thin slice of Italian salami on top. It is nice if the diameter of the cracker is just slightly larger than the diameter of the salami to give a nice layered visual effect.
3. Place a few pieces of julienned sundried tomatoes on the crackers. How much you put on is up to you, but I would recommend to exercise some restraint. You want sunshine in the bite, not a blazing hot day :-). The key to this recipe is balance between the saltiness and sweetness so you don’t want either salami or sundried tomatoes to overpower.
4. Decorate with a dollop of soft cream cheese. Here you can either create a dollop with a spoon or get a little fancier and break out the cake decorating kit to create a more structured “dollop.”
There you have it, a simple recipe that you can whip up in no time. I like to pair this with a Rosé, but Clint, our Stark Insider wine guy may have other ideas!
Vegetarian or simply want a variation? Try this with asiago cheese instead of the salami. You can also experiment with the sundried tomatoes. Instead, try some fig jam. The secret is to have something salty paired with something sweet on a nice cracker base.

Have you ever made fig preserves and had a bushel of liquid left over? I never know what to do about that however, about two weeks ago I had an upside down fig cake made for my birthday and it was unique and delicious. Cover a loaf pan with brown sugar
Last year, I tried making a savory fig preserve and just couldn't come up with one I liked. This year, I succeeded by modifying an online recipe that was used as a sandwich dressing. I don't remember where I found it, and I changed it a bit.
“It's not really something that you might get at the market, it's something that's usually handed to you from someone who has a big fig tree in the backyard.” Below, try a recipe for Fig Preserves from the Lee Brothers' first cookbook.
My search criteria had one parameter: recipes must call for maximum figs. Walker's fig jam recipe called for 5 pounds of figs, about a day's harvest. But I was in no mood to boil jars on an August afternoon. Instead, I turned to Mark Bittman,
Grilled Pizza with Pears, Fig Jam, Melted Cheddar, Lavender Sea Salt
As Fall is just waiting in the woods (I hope) my heart went right to pears. September is a favorite month around here because it gets cooler (a little) and I get nestier and want friends to come over for dinner. This five star makeover is an appetizer pizza that will make any dinner party just a little more elegant but not in any pretentious way. After all, it’s still pizza. Served with a starter white wine, it goes well before almost any main dish. . Part of my splurge included the fig jam, fresh mozzarella, pears and a very sharp Inverness cheddar cheese. I purchased these items to eat separately and this pizza was only made by default. It was not my original intention but it was nearly addictive and we made it two days in a row. That right there made it push the broccoli rabe pizza over (for another day) and become the five star entry.
