mascarpone dip

Last minute get together? People headed over spur-of-the-moment?

No fear - this easy (and festive) dip takes only moments to throw together - and you most likely have most of the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients:

1 carton mascarpone

raspberry/cherry preserves (or similar flavor)

pomegranate arils

fresh rosemary, minced

honey

evoo

maldon salt

pita chips

Directions:

Use an immersion blender to whip mascarpone until creamy.

Spread onto a serving dish.

Layer with preserves.

Sprinkle arils and rosemary over the top.

Drizzle with honey (here’s where you could get fancy and swap out hot honey should you so choose) and a splash of evoo.

Sprinkle finishing salt over top.

I like to serve with thin pita. chips
