Cherry Compote
Ingredients
Directions
Cut off half the stalks from the cherries and wash them in cold water. Let them drain.
Boil sugar and water to make a syrup until it reaches a pearl stage.
Add the cherries to the syrup and boil on high heat for five to six minutes.
Remove from heat, gently stir with a spatula, and let cool.
Transfer the cherries to serving dishes. You may remove the stones if desired.
