1/2 cup water
1/2 cup honey
2 stems fresh rosemary
8 fresh mint leaves, sliced in chiffonade

DIRECTIONS
Warm honey in small saucepan, add rosemary
and pound with a wooden spoon to release
the flavor. Remove from heat. Steep at least
15 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour. Strain
and cool.
Mix ricotta with 1 Tablespoon of cool honey.

Stew blueberries, apricots, lemon zest and
