• Wash and dry produce.

• Zest and quarter lemon. Roughly chop cashews. Halve, core, and cut apple into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

• In a small bowl, combine dried cherries, 1 TBSP water, and a squeeze of lemon juice (2 TBSP water and a big squeeze of lemon juice for 4 servings); cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove plastic wrap and pour off liquid. Set aside until ready to serve.

• Toast bread.

• In a second small bowl, whisk together ricotta, cream cheese, maple syrup, 1/4 tsp Warming Spice Blend (1/2 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt until combined. (Be sure to measure the Warming Spice Blend; we sent more!)

• Spread ricotta mixture on toasts; top with cherry jam, drained cherries, cashews, and lemon zest.

• Divide toasts between plates and serve with apple slices on the side.
