southern gentleman's grilled cheese sandwich
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.

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 smoky, I could have eaten it all with a spoon. Everyone will love this grown-up grilled cheese!

Step 1In 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. -
Step 2Place 2 slices of smoked gouda onto each slice of bread. Top the bottom layer with 2 TBSP cherry jam, pulled pork, and 2 TBSP chow chow. Place on sandwich top. Brush sandwich with melted butter. Grill at 325-350 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Flip and repeat. If bread is browning too quickly, reduce heat. Grill until cheese melts.
