If you can't find almond syrup, floral, almond-flavored orgeat syrup is a fine substitute. Ingredients:
4 cups pitted fresh red or black cherries (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1/4 cup almond syrup (such as monin or torani) |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
7 cups plain greek yogurt, stirred to loosen |
1 cup whole raw almonds, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Bring cherries, almond syrup, sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly syrupy but cherries still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool completely. Chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
2. Divide yogurt among bowls. Spoon cherries with juices over. Garnish with chopped almonds.
