Author Notes

Rarely do I run out of Greek yogurt, but today I did. This almost savory treat uses ricotta cheese with fresh blueberries, a persimmon, and rosemary. This can be frozen, even partially frozen, or just very well chilled. I really like the creamy, savory, slightly sweet flavors with that fresh herbal overtone mixing with the blend of fresh fruits. I especially like the resulting purple color squishing those blues into the brilliant orange. —Sagegreen

Yes, but at the moment I have a surplus of varietal honey that I got in Budapest including chestnut, linden, rapeseed, milkweed, and sunflower. I love rosemary, lavender and sage honey.

What an interesting and original use of spices and herbs! I'm sure it's wonderful. Fabulous picture too.
