Ginger Crackers with Fig Jam
We go through more crackers than I care to admit in our house. I buy the organic, healthier varieties yes, but there is quite a bit of packaging that goes along with them. Sometimes we'll do appetizer dinners with a few homemade spreads, cheeses, and olives. So if I make my own spreads and buy great local cheese, why can't I make the crackers as well?
These ginger crackers have a hint of sweet that pairs really well with fig jam. You could also top with a pungent cheese and then the jam for a bit of contrasting flavor. I added pumpkin pie spice to the batter to add a bit more flavor as well.
