whilst I think
about it …
Thought
you might like to have this recipe up your sleeve for emergencies.
All you need to do is add a bag/box of frozen cherries to your
shopping list - oh and have 11 minutes to spare.
Cherry
Compote
350g cherries, defrosted if frozen
50g granulated sugar
2 tbsp cherry juice
¼ tsp almond essence
2 tsps arrowroot
1 tbsp cold water
Place the cherries, sugar and juice in a saucepan heat gently,
stirring. Cook for 10 minutes then break up the cherries so that
there are no whole cherries left. Add the almond essence.
Blend the arrowroot and water together then add to the cherry
mixture, on a gentle heat, stirring continuously. When the mixture
has thickened heat for another minute.
Use over ice cream when warm or set aside to cool and decant
into a clean screw top jar and “fridge”.
This cherry compote has many uses – apart from warm served
with ice cream. Spread it on toast, serve with yogurt, on top of
cereal and definitely with scones.
Here's a photo of the cherry compote. The recipe given fills the
370g jar shown.
Can't think of a down side to this recipe – unless of course you
don't like cherries!
