Sweet, Dark, and Gently Complex
There are small things you make for a table of people that end up being the thing everyone remembers. Not the main course, not the centerpiece — but that one bite, passed around before the evening fully begins. Something about the pairing of cherries and aged vinegar does this quietly: the fruit softens into something deeper than itself, touched with herb and sweetness, until it becomes less of a topping and more of a mood. Spread over a crisp bruschette with cool, yielding goat cheese beneath, these crostini ask very little of you — and offer quite a lot in return.
