1 French baguette cut on the diagonal into 1/2” pieces (approx. 12 pieces)
Rosemary Fig Compote (recipe follows)
6 paper thin slices of prosciutto

Dried apricots, chopped

1 cup dried figs (Calmyra), chopped
1/2 cup Siena wine
1/2 cup water
3 Tbsp water
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary

In a 1-1/2 qt. heavy saucepan, stir together ingredients and simmer covered, 20 minutes.
