Ingredients
- 300 g (2 cups) cherries (fresh or frozen) pitted
- 2 tablespoon water (not needed if using frozen cherries)
- 45 g (3 tbsp) caster sugar superfine
- 4 pods green cardamom seeds (removed from pods)
- ¼ teaspoon freshly milled black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice + 3cm/inch of zest
- ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar optional
Instructions
- Place the cherries in a saucepan with water (no need for water if your cherries are frozen), sugar, lemon juice and est, pepper and the cardamom seeds.
- Cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat until the cherries are soft (less if fresh). Add the balsamic vinegar and reduce for up to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste if for savoury.
- Remove the zest and blitz with a hand blender - either completely to a smooth sauce or blend half way to contain some whole cherries.
Notes
- With savoury: serve warm with meats such as duck, game, steaks, roast chicken, turkey or pork.
- For dessert: serve chilled with desserts such as white chocolate panna cotta, on top of chocolate puddings, French pancakes (crêpes) or French toast (Pain Perdu)
