When I was in Atlanta last week, I had an amazing Peppadew appetizer at one of the BBQ restaurants we visited. It was so good, I came home and tried my hand at recreating it. I served my creation this past weekend and all agreed it was delicious. A Peppadew is a sweet piquant pepper grown in the Limpopo province of South Africa. Interesting how combining a few basic ingredients, you can produce such fantastic results. This appetizer is very unique and if you are not familiar with Peppadews, what a good time to give them a try. It is very easy to make, you can make this ahead and pop in the oven when your guests arrive. I served this with water crackers.
