Wine Jelly Crostini

Name: Wine Jelly Crostini
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 6
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1/2 baguette; 1/4 cup olive oil, (plus 2 tablespoons, divided); 1/2 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 cup ricotta cheese; ½ cup red or white wine jelly; fresh thyme sprigs, (to garnish)

These crostini star one of our favorite ingredients we sell in the Giadzy shop: Italian wine jellies from the tippy top of Italy, in Piedmont (we have a Dolcetto red wine, and a Moscato white wine!) Mariangela Prunotto is dedicated to organic farming and using the best quality fruit possible, and as a result, these jams are packed with sweet, natural flavors of Italy... and they're divine with soft cheeses, like ricotta!

We gave it a taste test on these simple ricotta crostini, and guys? It's divine. These flavors are absolutely beautiful together. Crispy crostini, whipped ricotta and these subtly sweet jams are a perfect match.

We recommend giving both jams a try - they each bring something a little different to the table, making it extra fun to go back and forth between crostini. The Moscato Jelly has a more refreshing, floral and slightly citrus-y flavor, while the Dolcetto brings more earthy richness.
