Being thoughtful stewards of the environment is one of Perdue Farms’ most important social pillars. They are taking the following steps to lessen the carbon footprint and protect the ecosystem:
- For every bundle shipped, they will donate to the Arbor Day Foundation, which works to replant damaged areas of forests. This donation will help reduce the carbon footprint required to ship products to you.
- They designed the shipping boxes with sustainability in mind. Every box is made out of 100 percent recyclable cardboard and insulated with Green Cell Foam®. Green Cell Foam® is eco-friendly packaging and is biodegradable, compostable, and made from high-grade non-GMO cornstarch that is dissolvable in water.
- You’ll receive a reusable and recyclable grocery bag with every purchase. Reach for the bag next time you go to the store to avoid using paper or plastic.
- A pollinator seed packet is also included in every box. They wouldn’t be able to produce the food that they do without bees and butterflies, which help to make one out of every three bites of food we eat. Plant the seeds to create a robust pollinator habitat near your home!

So, back to the recipe at hand. Remember we are in party season, between the holidays and football season in the early part of the year?
Enter these Amber Ale BBQ Rib Crostini with Gouda Cheese and Cherry Jam! We have partnered with Perdue Farms for this post, and we cannot tell you how good this recipe is! It’s super easy to transport too, and assemble as need be at someone else’s house for a party or even at a tailgate!
What Ingredients are Needed for the Crostini Appetizers?
- Niman Ranch Fat Tire BBQ Pork Ribs
- Baguette
- Gouda Cheese
- Cherry Jam
- Chives
- Salt and Pepper
To keep the meat warm, just pack it in some aluminum foil. For the crostini, you can either toast them at home, just throw the slices into someone else’s oven or the the grill for a couple minutes until they get nice and toasty. When you’re ready to serve, just put on a bit of cherry jam, add a slice of the rich and smoky Gouda, and top it with the ribs and chives. Fresh cracked black pepper and salt to finish.
Super classy served at home too, but we wanted you to know how easy these crostini appetizers are to transport and prepare not JUST at home. A great warm appetizer that is easy to assemble!
Niman Ranch Fat Tire Ribs
The Niman Ranch Fat Tire Ribs are super tasty and easy to make! Combining the highest quality all-natural meats with New Belgium Brewing’s award-winning Fat Tire Amber Ale was of course a delicious combo!
The sweetness and hoppy bitterness of the beer is with tangy tomato based BBQ sauce. This pairs perfectly with the applewood smoked ribs.
These crostini appetizers of course are great with a tasty lager or IPA beer, they are also delicious with a cabernet, or a cocktail. The Gouda, the cherry jam, bbq meat – all amazing with a bold red wine, beer, or tasty cocktail!
Cheers!
