Blackberry and mascarpone bruschetta
One of the things that I appreciate about bruschetta is that it’s so versatile. I love a typical tomato and basil version, but sometimes you want to be try something different – in comes some blackberries and mascarpone! This bruschetta has sweetness from the honey and a slight bitterness from the balsamic glaze that pair perfectly together. Plus, blackberries are back in season. If you’re looking for something new to add to the table for your next get together, give this recipe a try.
