In autumn, we switch from our much-loved blueberries to grapes. We love how versatile they are. They are great as a crunchy snack straight from the fridge, a sweet accompaniment to cheese or even baked in the oven on top of crispy bread as in this recipe. We think this combination with ricotta, honey and thyme is simply divine.
