Cherry Compote

Last week, my grandparents decided to gift us 2 whole boxes of cherries that they bought from Costco. While I was thankful that they cared enough to send us some, two entire boxes is really a bit too much for a family of four (or more like three because my mom doesn’t really eat fruits). I have therefore been gorging myself on cherries this past week and as of yesterday I have officially had enough. I decided to get rid of all the leftover cherries in a cherry compote.

Ingredients

  • 500 grams of cherries
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp brandy
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar

Procedure

Place pitted cherries and sugar in a saucepan on high heat and heat until the sugar melts. Add the brandy and balsamic and stir until the alcohol evaporates and the cherries are soft. Transfer to a container and place in the fridge to cool. Serve with yogurt or ice cream.
