DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the pita pockets in half so each forms 2 rounds and you have 4 rounds in all. Place the pita rounds on the baking sheets cut side up, and brush the top of each with oil.
Spread 2 tablespoon ricotta cheese on each pita, leaving about ½ inch border around the edges, then arrange sliced grapes in a single layer on top of the cheese. Bake until edges are crisped and the cheese is warmed, 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, stir together the honey and lemon juice until the honey is dissolved.
When the pizzas are done, drizzle each with about ½ teaspoon of the honey-lemon mixture. Sprinkle the basil on top of the pizzas. Serve immediately.
