Ingredients
- ¼ ¼ cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- ¼ ¼ cup honey
- A pinch of cayenne
- 1 ½ 1 ½ cups ricotta
- Zest and Juice from 1 lemon
- black pepper to garnish
- Toasted baguette slices to serve
Instructions
- And the cranberries, honey, and cayenne to a small pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then remove from the heat when you hear the first cranberry pop, about 30 seconds.
- Add the ricotta, lemon zest, and lemon juice to your food processor or blender and blend on high until smooth. Note: if the ricotta seems too thin, place it into your fridge. It is more firm when it is chilled and you'll be able to pile it higher on a plate when it's cold.
- Pour the ricotta onto a plate, top with the cranberries and honey, and a little sprinkle of black pepper. Serve with some toasted baguette slices.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If you drizzle your baguette slices with olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt over them before you put them in your oven they will be extra delicious.
