Ingredients
2 purple plums, quartered and pitted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 ounces fresh ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon honey, plus more for drizzling
Mixed summer fruit, such as white peaches, figs, strawberries, red and white cherries, blackberries, and blueberries
Fresh mint, for garnish
Preparation
To make plum sauce, place plums in a saucepan with 1/2 cup water, sugar, and cinnamon. Simmer until fruit has broken down and become mostly liquid, about 10 to 15 minutes. Put through a sieve or colander, and discard solids. Adjust sugar to taste. Let cool.
Place ricotta in a bowl, and stir in honey. Drizzle more honey over the surface of cheese.
Wash and cut the fruit into serving-size pieces. Arrange on a platter, and garnish with mint. Serve with the plum sauce and ricotta on the side.
