Author's Notes

This is the time to use high-quality balsamic vinegar- the sweeter and more syrupy, the better. A really acidic or sour vinegar will overpower the cherries and basil.

step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the Cherries (3 cups), Honey (1 Tbsp), Balsamic Vinegar (1/2 tsp), Fresh Basil (2 Tbsp), and a pinch of Kosher Salt (to taste).

step 3
Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cherries are just starting to release their juice. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
step 4
Meanwhile, arrange Baguette (1) on a sheet pan. Brush lightly with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (to taste), sprinkle with Kosher Salt (to taste) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
step 5
To assemble the crostini, spread a layer of Goat Cheese (1 cup) onto each baguette slice, then top with a spoonful of cooked cherries. Sprinkle the remaining Fresh Basil (2 Tbsp) over the crostini and serve immediately.
