Preparation

Step 1

For the jam:
1. Place the diced tomatoes in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the strawberries, sugar, cinnamon, salt and lemon juice.
3. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of a loose jam, 40 to 45 minutes.
4. Set aside to cool completely.

To assemble the crostini:
5. Preheat the broiler to high.
6. Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
7. Brush each slice on both sides with the olive oil.
8. Place the bread on a baking sheet, sprinkle with the salt and broil until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes.
9. Top each crostini with a teaspoon of jam and some of the feta.
10. Garnish with one or two mint leaves if using.
