Yogurt with Honey, Sour Cherry Preserves, and Crushed Pistachios

11 years ago

What do you do when guests are coming for dinner, and the
dessert that’s planned can’t be made because a key ingredient is unavailable? Come
up with ‘Plan B’, of course!

That’s what happened this past weekend; I was in a dessert
bind. Unknowingly, Douglas, my sous chef, came to the rescue! Earlier in the week, Doug felt like having a simple,
yet special for dessert, so he went to the refrigerator and whipped up a yogurt
dish.

We always have plain yogurt, honey, and pistachio nuts on
hand; that’s a given. When Doug realized we still had some Noyan Sour Cherry
Preserves leftover from his martini project, he knew he had the makings of a
winning dessert. Trust me, it was sublime!

Doug’s ‘Yogurt with Honey, Sour Cherry Preserves, and Pistachios

Recalling this successful, impromptu delight, I followed
suit, making Doug’s “Yogurt with Honey, Sour Cherry Preserves, and crushed Pistachios”.

Here’s how to make it …
