Ingredients
Method
- 2 ripe persimmons or nectarines
- 2 balls smoked mozzarella
- 1/2 cup pine-needle-infused fynbos honey

Method
Ingredients
Slice the fruit and mozzarella into pieces approximately ½ cm thick. Layer on a platter, alternating the fruit and cheese.
Drizzle over the honey, sprinkle with the pine nuts, thyme and a few salad leaves, then drizzle with olive oil. Finish with a little Maldon sea salt and serve.
Cook's note: Luke made his own pine needle-infused fynbos honey, but you can simply use Woolies' fynbos honey as is - it will be just as delicious.
