1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 pounds low-fat ricotta, well drained*
6 tablespoons orange blossom honey - divided use
1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 pint strawberries, hulled and halved

- Preheat oven to 350°F

berries decoratively on top and drizzle with remaining honey.
