Easy and good! The ricotta does NOT need to be sweetened as it combines with the sweet preserves. I had no trouble with the jam/preserves running all over cookie sheet. For those that are worried about that: use jam or preserves not jelly, spread the pie crust with jam but do not use more jam than that, and mend any little cracks in the pie crust with ice water. A simple dessert for your family!

Ladies...how cruel. I watched Sandra make the crostata and made it from memory and it turned out great just as Sandra cooked it. I served it to several family members and they asked for the recipe. Not sure what you did wrong and why you needed to add more sugar to a very nice desert.

I too, had to basically change the whole recipe. I added honey, to taste, to the ricotta. I baked it for 25-30 min. on the bottom rack, and used blackberry jam instead of grape jelly. I also sprinkled sugar around the crust.

This was horrible!! I too, cooked this 5 minutes longer but also, had the jelly run all over the baking sheet! Very disappointed with this recipe!! Sandra, mine sure did NOT look like yours--the magic of cameras!!

I changed the recipe a bit. I added sugar to the ricotta so that it was sweet. I left off the grapes and sprinkled a bit of sugar on the crust. My kids loved it.

I, too, made some changes based on the reviews. I flavored the ricotta with honey and a splash of lemon. I used the suggestion made by dolores to bake an additional 5 minutes on the bottom rack. The recipe turned out fine after that. I gave it three stars because I don't think a recipe on the foodnetwork should require this much tweaking.

I agree with Kim - I had the exact results. My first thought reading the recipe was "I don't think Sandra used 1 1/2 cups of Jelly or Jam" but I ignored my gut and went with the recipe.

After reading all the reviews I modified this recipe slightly. I baked it for about 5 minutes longers ON THE BOTTOM RACK and i also sweetened the ricotta and used rasberry jam instead of grape. I really enjoyed it and i'll definately make it again! It's fast and easy!
