During a grilled cheese date night battle, my husband wanted a grilled cheese with pulled pork, so I made it, but I added something special... cherry bourbon jam.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

My oh my, this is a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. The smoked gouda cheese pairs nicely with the tangy pulled pork and sweet cherry bourbon jam. The cherry jam is divine. Sweet and smokey, I could have eaten it all with a spoon. Everyone will love this grown up grilled cheese! The Test Kitchen

How to Make Southern Gentleman's Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Step-by-Step

In a sauce pan, combine cherries, brown sugar, bourbon, and cornstarch. Cook on medium heat until thick and bubbly, stirring frequently to break down cherries. Remove from heat and cool.

Grill at 325-350 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Flip and repeat. If bread is browning too quickly, reduce heat. Grill until cheese melts.
