    Ricotta with Berries and Lime Sugar

    Serves: 4-6

    INGREDIENTS

    4 tablespoons granulated sugar
    finely grated zest 1 large lime
    assorted fresh berries
    3 tablespoons good quality grappa, Vin Santo, limoncello or dessert wine
    250 grams firm ricotta* we used a whole ricotta from Clevedon Valley Buffalo Company
    jug of pouring cream

    METHOD

    Put the sugar and lime zest in a bowl and rub together with your fingertips to infuse the sugar with the lime oil. It will turn a beautiful shade of green.

    Arrange the berries on a large platter and pour over the grappa, turning to combine. Sprinkle generously with the lime sugar. Place the ricotta alongside and serve with a jug of pouring cream. 

    * The ricotta is also delicious drizzled with honey and served with fresh figs when in season.
