Chef's Tip: No tarragon? No problem. Fresh basil would be a nice substitute.

Ingredients
Serves 8

| 1 (4 oz) log soft fresh goat cheese | ||
| ⅔ c. Hy-Vee dried cherries, finely chopped | ||
| ¼ c. hazelnuts, toasted and chopped* | ||
| 2 tsp. finely chopped tarragon | ||
| Crackers, for serving | ||
| Fresh tarragon sprigs, for garnish |
Directions
- Cut goat cheese into 8 portions; shape each portion into a 1-inch ball. Set aside.
- Combine cherries, hazelnuts and chopped tarragon. Roll cheese balls in cherry mixture to coat completely.
- Arrange on a platter. Serve with crackers. If desired, garnish with tarragon sprigs.
- *Note: Hazelnuts have a papery skin that is typically removed. Toast whole nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. To remove the skins, rub warm nuts in a dry dish towel until skins come loose.
