Roasted Grapes
2 cups large red seedless grapes
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon honey (I used blackberry honey)
Lemony Ricotta Topping
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese, drained
1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon honey
zest from 1/4 lemon
pinch salt
balsamic vinegar reduced to a syrup

1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes. Lay them out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the dried herbs over the grapes, drizzle the honey on top, and roll the grapes around with your palms to coat them.
2
Roast for 45 minutes or until noticeably softened. The honey will be starting to caramelize around the grapes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3
Combine the ricotta, mascarpone, honey, lemon zest, and salt together in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.
4
Pour one cup of balsamic vinegar (not your best balsamic vinegar!) in a pot and bring to a rapid simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until the vinegar is reduced by at least half and reduced to a syrupy consistency. The best way to know when enough simmering is enough - watch the bubbles. When the bubbles start to get larger, mixed with smaller bubbles, you're done. If the balsamic vinegar reaches the point of large lazy bubbles, you have gone a little too far.
5
Spoon the grapes onto a plate, placing a dollop of lemony ricotta on top. Drizzle with the reduced balsamic.
