Raspberry Basil Canapés

Ingredients:

•2 tbsp whipped cream cheese (you buy it already whipped and fluffy, in a tub right next to the regular tubs of cream cheese) •2 tbsp sour cream (full fat and light both work here. I avoid fat-free) •1/2 to 1 tsp balsamic vinegar •salt •20 crackers •20 fresh raspberries •20 small basil leaves

Directions:

1.In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. Taste. I find that some balsamic vinegars are more potent than others. If your mixture has a nice subtle vinegar flavor with a touch of sweetness, you're good to go. If you can't really taste the balsamic, add a little bit more and even another pinch of salt and then taste again.

2.Put a 1/2 teaspoon dollop of the creamy vinegar sauce onto each cracker. Using the sauce as a glue to stick on single raspberry and a single basil leaf onto each dollop.
