This is a different and somewhat exotic dish that will surprise and delight your family and guests. It started with a delicious recipe called Wild Blue from this site, which I changed so much it is really a different dish. Feel free to salt and pepper to taste it be careful of proportions so that one strong flavor doesn't overpower the rest. You can use different preserves but, again, some , like blackberry, are too powerful for the other ingredients. You want a balance of sweet, salty, savory, creamy and crunchy. Use the best olive oil you can manage; the flavor is important to the dish.
