Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons golden raisins
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 16-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon capers, drained
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Steps:

Whisk 3 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon honey and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and add the raisins. Cook until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the raisins cool in the liquid, then drain.
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 teaspoon each vinegar and honey with the olive oil, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
Combine the ricotta, capers, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor; pulse a few times. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with the raisins, pine nuts and parsley. Serve with baguette slices.
