tsp cane sugar

white vinegar

dried cranberries

prosciutto

tsp iodized salt

tbsp whipped cream

tbsp flat-leaf parsley

basil

oz ricotta cheese

sourdough bread
Instructions
The day before you’re going to make these, you need to pickle your cranberries. To do this, pour your pack of craisins into an air tight container (I use a mason jar). Submerge the craisins in 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar. Just make sure they’re fully submerged. Add in 1 tsp of sugar, mix well and seal up, store in the fridge overnight. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. On a sheet pan, lay down parchment paper and place your prosciutto on the pan in loose nests (this is to avoid it burning). Bake for 8 minutes then flip the nests and bake for another 5. Keep an eye on these because they can burn quickly. Add minute by minute if they need more time, they should be crispy. While your prosciutto is in the oven, in a food processor, add your ricotta, basil, parsley, cream, and salt. Blend on low for 1 minute. Stop and scrape the edges to make sure all of the herbs are getting mixed in. Mix again for 1 minute. Place into a container and store in the fridge until ready to serve. Cut your French bread loaf into 1/2 inch pieces and toast however you prefer (toaster, stove top with olive oil, grill, bake in the oven, etc). Once toasted, cut a garlic clove in half and rub open side onto bread, this will give you a subtle garlic flavor from the oils. Top your toasts with herbed ricotta, pickled cranberries, prosciutto, and then drizzle with a good amount of hot honey. Enjoy!View original recipe
