Looking to shake things up in the bedroom this Valentine’s Day? Why not deviate from the usual pancakes in bed, and spice it up by serving your “honey” a slice of rustic toast with ricotta, pumpkin butter, and maple syrup – be sure to pour liberally.
Breakfast Toast with Ricotta, Pumpkin Butter, and Maple Syrup
Ingredients
2 cups sweet roasted pumpkin
¾ cups apple cider (With no additives and from a familiar orchard. We love Red Jacket Orchards in New York )
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
¼ tsp cloves
1 cinnamon stick
pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
¼ cup honey
2 pieces of whole grain bread
1 Tb molasses/maple syrup/agave/or honey
Preparation: Bring all ingredients – except the bread, ricotta and syrup – together in a saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes thick and rich. If it holds its own when you run a spoon through it, it’s ready. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Toast several pieces of rustic whole grain bread (or the best quality bread you have). Generously spread with fresh ricotta cheese followed by the pumpkin butter. Drizzle with as much real maple syrup as you like.
