RECIPE
Goats Cheese, Serrano Ham & Balsamic Picota Cherry Tart
Such a heavenly combo of flavours, the sweetness of the cherries works so well with the cheese and ham. For a light bite or canapé, try topping toasted ciabatta slices with goats cheese, Serrano, rocket and balsamic Picota cherries for a spin on Brushetta!

- 300g Picota Cherries
- 1 1/2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 320g Ready Rolled Puff Pastry
- 100g Goats Cheese
- 50g rocket leaves

- Fresh Basil to finish (optional)

- Half the cherries and remove the stones. Put half of the cherries into a saucepan with the balsamic vinegar and set the other half aside.

- Lay the pastry on baking parchment on a baking tray. Heat the oven to 220 (200 fan). Score a border 2cm from the edge of the pastry and bake for 5 minutes.
- Dot the goats cheese within the middle section of the tart and add the remaining halved cherries.
- Bake for 10 minutes and then top the tart with the Serrano ham, rocket leaves, toasted almonds, basil and finally the balsamic cherries and the juices from the pan
