Ricotta with Fresh Berries & Saba Recipe

 The trick with this recipe is to use an excellent-quality artisanal ricotta, and drain it very well until it is quite dry. You might also try this with other berries -- add some raspberries or blackberries for a different twist.

Ingredients:
 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced into quarters
 1 lb. excellent-quality whole-milk ricotta, well drained
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) San Giacomo Saba

Directions:

 1. Combine berries with 4 tablespoons of the saba and set aside.

 2. Combine ricotta with remaining saba and mix thoroughly.  Press it into a shallow bowl or gelatin mold lined with cheesecloth and let it set up in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

3. Turn ricotta out onto a plate,  remove cheesecloth and pour macerated berries over it.

4. Serve with shortbread cookies, toasted walnut-raisin bread or chocolate wafers.

Serves 8-12
