Servings: persons

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 cups golden raisins
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 to 1 cup water
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 ounces softened cream cheese
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
A few tablespoons milk or brine from the feta if you have it
Baguette slices
Extra virgin olive oil for brushing on the baguette slices

1
Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the shallot and gently saute until they soften. Stir in the raisins and sugar and add enough water to just cover the raisins.
2
Bring the mixture up to a boil and then simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar and let cool.
3
Place the mixture in a mini food processor or blender and blend until almost smooth. Remove to a bowl.
4
Place the cream cheese and feta in a (mini) food processor, add a tablespoon of milk or feta brine and start processing, adding more liquid as needed to create a dense whipped mixture.
5
Cut your baguette into 1/4 inch slices and brush each side with a little olive oil. Bake the slices in a pre heated 350F oven for about 10 minutes. Cool.
6
When ready to serve, spread some of the whipped feta on each crostini and top with some raisin jam.
