Compote of Cherries
Ingredients
Directions
Remove the stones from an equal quantity of white and black cherries.
Boil each kind separately with sugar and water over low heat until tender.
Remove the cherries from the juice and arrange them in a salad bowl, mixing the colors.
Strain the juice and boil it with the remaining liquid in the pan until it becomes a clear syrup.
Once the cherries are cold, turn the compote onto a dish and pour the syrup around it.
