apricot jam & goat cheese galette

so, this is one of the 8 jars of apricot jam that i (and an army of others) made in june, with the able guidance of the girls at yes we can. i've been wanting to make something with this jam ever since i made the jam itself!

instead of an apricot jam tart -- the original idea -- i decided to modify martha stewart's dried peach and goat cheese galette to suit my purposes. same galette crust: a pate brisee, rolled out to a 1/4-inch thick rectangle, about 8" x 15", with a 1/2-inch thick folded-crust border.

fresh thyme: so key. thanks to sarah for growing it in our backyard!

the pale-orange parts are a goat-cheese mix: fresh goat cheese, apricot jam, honey, salt, lemon rind, & fresh thyme. the dark-orange parts are just pure apricot jam! obviously, i didn't get to my camera before the galette was brutalized.
