Ingredients

1/4 C honey

1/4 tsp orange flower water, or to taste

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/8 tsp ground cardamon

1/4 C sliced almonds, slightly crushed

6 ounces fresh goat cheese

Procedure

In a saucepan, warm the honey with the orange water, and spices over low heat to allow the flavors to develop about 2 minutes. Carefully pour the warmed honey onto a large plate.

Spread the almonds evenly into a thin layer in a large shallow plate. Shape the cold goat cheese into a medium patty about 2 inches high.

Roll the cheese in the honey, covering all sides. Roll it in the crushed almonds until well coated. Wrap the goat cheese tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
