I made this the other day, but with thinly sliced plums instead of berries. So good! Thanks for the idea, Thirschfeld!

Plums would be good and I am glad you enjoyed it

Oh! Just looked at my pics of this and realized I put cherries on it too! I must admit... I sat there and ate the whole plate myself... next time I'll make it for a gathering and share... maybe =).

I just starting to read through all the recipes. I submitted one that is way too similar to yours....I did not see yours at all. If I can I will delete it because you posted yours first. I just went to the farmers' market yesterday, found all the ingredients and made it last night and thought that it was so good I posted it. I usually check all entries to make sure that this doesn't happen.

I have to apologize. I have been out in eastern Indiana for 3 days. No internet or cell and I wish I had seen this because I always say the more the merrier and would have told you to leave yours up. I appreciate your concern but really it is just food and differences no matter how subtle make every recipe or set of recipes better. Having said that I am going to go to your recipes and hope to find it there because I would like to see it and hope you will repost it if it isn't

I'm not at all big on fruity things, but I do love berries, and I love the sweet/tart/savory thing you've got going on here. Gorgeous.

Definitely my kind of dessert. Can't wait to track down some burrata.

I have never had burrata. Some Italian I am! Going to cheese shop tomorrow to see if they have it. Thanks for another great recipe, thirschfeld.

This is intriguing...I'd like to try it with burrata that I've made myself. Is the mozzarella curd simply curds that are removed (and drained?) prior to stretching the mozzarella, or are they made from a separate recipe? Do you think that your Cheese Lady would mind sharing her recipe?

Dscn0826 Reply

Well, the way I understand it, and I think there are two ways of making this, is it is the raw uncooked curds mixed with cream then wrapped in the stretched "cooked" mozz. Then I have heard some use cooked scraps, chop them and mix with cream and then it is wrapped. I wish my cheese lady was making the cheese but she works in a cheese shop that gets interesting cheeses.
