(COMPOTE DE CERISES NOIRES) When in season, fresh cherries can be used in place of the frozen ones. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1 cup dried tart cherries |
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise |
2 pounds frozen unsweetened pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed, juice reserved |
2/3 cup honey |
1 cinnamon stick |
3 whole cloves |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. Combine 2 cups water and dried cherries in large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until water is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir in dark cherries with juices and remaining ingredients. Simmer until cherries are tender and juices thicken, about 50 minutes. Cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Serve at room temperature.)
