Not really good, the vinegar flavor is not good w/ the fruit and it wasn't sweet. Maybe because im not a vinegar fan.

Wow, this was so delicious, and quick & easy. Followed the recipe exact, but added some roasted, sliced almonds on the top. I am saving this one! Yum, Yum.....

This was a terrific summer dessert - light, cool, and tasty. I made it based on what I remembered from the episode, rather than actually looking up the recipe, and it was wonderful even though I messed up the balsamic glaze a bit. I didn't have ricotta, so I just used cottage cheese that I ran through the food processor, and I used nectarines instead of apricots. Even with all my changes, it was the perfect end to a light summer meal!

I like the play between the apricot and the balsamic, but I must say that I am a big balsamic fan. Love the simplicity and the basic play, which to me are the best plays of all. Not sure it needs the ricotta which for me will likely fall to the wayside, but for the non-balsamic pallet it would likely make the cake. Jennifer's additions and comments below in additions to the ricotta have turned my head.... so hey... this recipe may simply be simply one of those basic building blocks that develop to one's adventures over time. Again, the apricot X balsamic play is a keeper.

I printed this recipe 7/18/09. I decided to make it today using nectarines. Reading thru the recipe, I made the same observation as Marian. I made them anyway with my guesses and they were very good.

I was pleased to see that the recipe has been corrected. I have some beautiful dark cherries to use.....

I have a habit of not following recipes. I saw this and thought it loked good, so I got some nice ripe apricots a few days later and did my own version based on what I remembered from the show. I cooked the apricots too long , I think, because they did not retain their firmness. Will try again with peaches on the grill and will just do a simple balsamic reduction. The ricotta was what we really liked with the fruit. I didn't remember Sunny doing anything to it, but I added abit of powdered suger, a teaspoon of vanilla, and a splash of Tuaca, which I also added to the pan of apricots. I placed the cheese in the freezer to firm up will I cooked the apricots. The cheese turned out awesome!! The apriccots smelled wierd, but went beautifully with the fluffy sweet ricotta. Sweet bing cherries might also be good instead of apricots and garnish the ricotta with mini chocolate chips and a dusting of cocoa powder. I believe if I continue to play with this I will have a really great dessert and it is certainly quick and easy. The average rating is probably due to my own errors than Sunny's actual recipe.

This was a great way to use a bunch of Apricots that were sitting in my fruit bowl starting to look like they were on the way out. This was very quick & easy. A simple way to jazz up apricots. I did not have any Ricotta, so I sprinkled larger chunks of goat cheese on top of a few of the apricots in a bowl. This would probably be nice over vanilla ice cream too.
