I adapted this recipe from Pepperadew USA, The United States Distributorship of the Peppadew Product Line. Pepperadews have a unique, delicious taste – a mixture of peppery and sweet, but with a distinctive flavor. Try them - you'll like them! I always buy all I can find in my grocery store just to keep them handy for when I want to use them in my cooking.

Stuffed Sweet Piquanté Peppers

4 ounces of soft coat cheese, chilled
3 to 4 tablespoons crème fraiche, chilled
1/2 teaspoons fresh mixed herbs (herbs of your choice)
1 (14-ounce) jar Peppadew Sweet Piquanté Peppers

In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese and crème fraiche, blending with a fork until smoother. Stir in herbs.

Drain the liquid from the peppers. If some peppers do not site upright, slice a very thin piece off the bottoms. Spoon the cheese mixture into a pastry bag or small plastic storage and pipe it into the peppers. Place stuffed peppers on a serving platter, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Garnish the plate with herb springs and served.

Makes 24 to 30 stuffed peppers.
