Sweet, dark cherries, and my cherry pitting tool |
I bought a cherry pitting tool; don’t ask me why. But since
it was sitting in my kitchen drawer and I’d just bought a ton of sweet cherries,
I felt compelled to use it.
Sweet Cherry Compote over Greek-style plain yogurt |
4 cups of pitted, halved cherries |
4 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
Step #1 |
1. Heat the cherries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium-high
heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15
minutes, or until cherries are tender and sauce is thickened. (The sauce should coat the spoon.)
Ready-to-serve compote |
Serve warm or cold over
plain cake, vanilla ice cream, or plain or vanilla-flavored yogurt.
Use less sugar, or omit it completely, add 3/4 teaspoon
finely chopped fresh rosemary to the cherries as they cook, and finally, add 1
teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional) and black pepper after compote is removed
from the heat.
