Yogurt with Honey, Sour Cherry Preserves, and Crushed Pistachios

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 …
