Surprising? Yes. Delicious? Absolutely! A novel treat to celebrate a leisurely late morning meal or afternoon snack.

ingredients

• 1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese
• 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup mixed dried fruits (cranberries, cherries, raisins, etc.); replump in warm water and blot with paper towel
• 1/4 cup crushed amaretti cookies
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
• grated zest of 1 large lemon
• pinch salt
• 1 1/2 pounds fresh pizza dough
• cornmeal
• 1/2 cup Stonewall Kitchen Black Raspberry Jam

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Beat ricotta, egg and egg yolk together until smooth. Stir in dried fruits, amaretti cookies, pine nuts and lemon zest.
3. Roll or stretch pizza dough to a diameter of about 16 inches, leaving edges a little thicker.
4. Transfer to a large pizza pan or flat cookie sheet dusted with cornmeal. Spread mixture over crust, leaving a 1-inch border free of filling.
5. Drizzle about half of the Stonewall Kitchen Black Raspberry Jam over cheese filling in a random pattern. Bake on lowest shelf in oven until cheese is set and crust is golden brown, about 14 to 16 minutes.
6. Remove, drizzle remaining Black Raspberry Jam over first layer of jam and let stand for at least 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
