It made a perfect base for a fresh summer dessert: a slice of buffalo ricotta, topped with sweet yellow plums, drizzled with maple syrup and served with some coronation grapes. It was yummy and photogenic! Next time I’ll add some basil or mint.

Update

The next day, I tried a slightly different version – instead of maple syrup, I used strawberry rhubarb jam I bought from KEG last week. The strawberry jam complemented nicely the other fruits and its colour really added extra punch to the dish.

Colourful

Yummy.
