RECIPES & PAIRINGS
Seville Orange & Bergamot Marmalade, Goat’s Cheese & Sriracha Canapés
A brilliantly simple canapé combining creamy goat’s cheese, bittersweet Seville orange and bergamot marmalade, Sriracha and fresh thyme.
We always love seeing where our preserves end up, particularly when someone takes a jar in a direction we might not have thought of ourselves.

created these brilliantly simple canapés using our
Seville Orange & Bergamot Marmalade,
pairing it with goat’s cheese, Sriracha and fresh thyme.
It’s a rather clever combination. The creamy, slightly tangy cheese softens the bittersweet citrus, while the fragrant bergamot works beautifully with thyme. A little Sriracha brings heat and stops everything becoming too polite.
SIMPLE CANAPÉ IDEA
Goat’s Cheese, Marmalade & Sriracha Canapés
Crisp pastry, creamy cheese, bittersweet citrus and a little chilli heat.
You’ll need
Small ready-made pastry canapé cases
The Artisan Kitchen Seville Orange & Bergamot Marmalade
Soft goat’s cheese
Sriracha hot sauce
Fresh thyme
To make
Spoon a small amount of Seville Orange & Bergamot Marmalade into the base of each pastry case.
Add a few small pieces of soft goat’s cheese, followed by a little Sriracha.
Finish with fresh thyme leaves and serve. That’s really all there is to it: crisp pastry, creamy cheese, bittersweet citrus, chilli heat and fresh herbs in one bite.
A little marmalade goes a surprisingly long way beyond breakfast.
Why marmalade works so well with cheese
Marmalade can be particularly good with cheese because its combination of fruit, acidity and gentle bitterness cuts through richness in much the same way as a chutney.
Our Seville Orange & Bergamot Marmalade combines the characteristic bittersweet flavour of Seville oranges with the distinctive fragrant lift of bergamot. Alongside a fresh, creamy goat’s cheese, those citrus notes really come alive.
Add chilli and thyme and you have a very simple little canapé that manages to be creamy, fruity, bitter, hot and aromatic all at once.
