Directions:
1. For the Red Onion Marmalade: In a deep pot, bring the red wine vinegar and brown sugar to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add in the thinly sliced onions. Cook them, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes or until it has thickened and the onions have candied & caramelized.
2. For the Whipped Roasted Garlic Goat Cheese: In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together the softened cream cheese, roasted garlic cloves, and salt until thoroughly mixed. Scrape down the sides and turn the mixer to medium-high speed and add in ¼C heavy cream. Continue whipping, while continuously adding a little bit of crumbled goat cheese at a time, until the goat cheese is combined throughout. Add in the remaining ¼C heavy cream and beat on high until it is light & fluffy. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Spoon this mixture onto a serving plate.
3. For Serving: Spoon some chilled, candied jalapeno slices on top of the whipped goat cheese. Top it with a spoonful or dollop of red onion marmalade. Serve with grilled Crostini.
