Tahini and Herb Crostini
As an appetizer or light lunch with a salad, the tahini crostini is another way to celebrate great tahini, delicious whole grape jam, fresh herbs, and my favorite Sullivan Street Bakery Sesame Sourdough bread. For a party or picnic, these crostini work well as mini sizes served on baguette slices.

Recipe Notes
Here is the Green Grape Jam recipe again for reference.
Feel free to substitute or change the herbs to what you have available.
The tahina gets better the next day. As it cools, the fluffy texture is cool and creamy.
