New York food blogger Cathi Iannone (The Brooklyn Ragazza) shared this recipe with me for my half hour show Garden Style. As she says blueberry, Gorgonzola and prosciutto are a flavorful trinity that makes these little pizzettes so, so delicious.
If you are pickling your own blueberries, make them the night before so they have time to absorb the flavor of the pickling juice.
