3/4

teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8

teaspoon ground nutmeg

8

wonton wrappers

3

tablespoons butter or margarine

• 1 Mix cheese, raisins, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon about 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture onto center of each wonton. Moisten edges of wrappers lightly with water. Fold diagonally in half over filling forming a triangle; press gently around filling to seal.
