Salami and Manchego Skewers

This is a simple idea that is very effective and delicious!  I use a mild chilli jam from The Wiltshire Chilli Farm (www.justchillies.co.uk), it is soft-set so spreads easily...and is very addictive!  If you are not keen on heat you can use quince or redcurrant jelly instead.
A good mature cheddar is also great here if you can't get Manchego.

Ingredients

A packet of sliced Italian Salami

Manchego cheese, cut into small cubes

Fresh basil leaves, torn in half lenghways

Chilli Jam

• Spread each slice of salami with a little chilli jam then fold it into quarters.  Wrap the cheese cubes in a piece of basil then tuck into one of the gaps in the salami 'cones' and secure with a cocktail stick.  Repeat with all the salami slices.
