Blackpool Sands, Devon
Apple, Honey and goats cheese Crostini
Where are we now?
When we made the decision to go travelling the COVID pandemic wasn’t really a thing. We thought we could just sell up and set off. That wasn’t to be. Lockdown. 4 months on furlough. It didn’t make sense to try and travel over the summer so we ended up at Blackpool Sands in sunny South Devon. Despite being busy in the cafe, there was plenty of time to work on recipes.
Summer turned to autumn, as it always does. The sun kept shining. Another lockdown. And we’re still here in December. Hopefully not for much longer.
The fresh British apples on the trees reminded me of this recipe. Fresh apples, soft goats cheese and blossom honey make this crostini a delicious autumn snack or starter.
