Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- While the oven is heating, macerate the blackberries and place them into a heatproof bowl.
- Next mix with the honey and about 1/4 tsp. of ground black pepper, cover in plastic wrap and place the bowl over the top of a 2-quart sauce pot with simmering water.
- Allow the bowl to heat over medium heat for about 30 minutes to speed up the maceration process – this can also be done a day in advance. Allow the macerated berries to cool to room temperature before using them.
- Combine the ricotta, chives, lemon zest, chives and 1 tsp. salt, and the remaining 1/2 tsp. of ground black pepper and set aside.
- Cut the bread in half and cut each half into 6 thick slices to make 12 slices total.
- When the oven is hot and ready, brush the bread with olive oil and light kosher salt, arrange on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned or approximately 10-12 minutes.
