Cherries in Red Wine Syrup
Report
I used bright-red sweet cherries, but feel free to mix in some of the multi-hued varieties, such as Queen Anne (incongruously called ‘Napoléon’ cherries in France) and Ranier. If you can get sour cherries, a mix of those with the sweet ones is cherry paradise.

- 1/2 cup (130g) plus 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions
- Put the cherries and sugar in a large, wide saucepan.
- Mix one tablespoon of the red wine with the corn or potato starch in a small bowl until it’s dissolved and set aside.
- Add the rest of the wine and the vinegar to the saucepan. Bring the heat up to a boil, then reduce the heat so it’s at a low boil and cook, stirring frequently, for about 12 minutes, until the cherries are completely wilted and softened through.
- During the last moments of cooking, stir in the starch slurry and let the mixture boil the additional minute or so, to thicken the juices.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the almond extract and kirsch, if using.
Notes
- Storage: The cherries will keep up to one week in the refrigerator. They can be frozen for up to six months.
