2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
1 3/4 cup pitted dark sweet cherries
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch salt
1 1/4 cups almond milk

CHERRY COMPOTE WITH ALMONDS



Cherry Compote With Almonds image

Gorgeous, shiny cherries straight from the market are the ideal finish to a meal - just put them in a big bowl and take them to the table. If, however, you feel a need to serve a "real" dessert, try these easy, slightly gussied-up cherries, which are really a kind of simplified version of brandied cherries. Fresh cherries are ideal, but frozen cherries will do in a pinch.

Categories     jams, jellies and preserves, dessert

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound/454 grams pitted fresh cherries
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange or almond liqueur, such as Cointreau
A few drops of almond extract
1 cup/142 grams whole blanched almonds (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Put cherries in a low, wide skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle with sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until cherries are heated through and a syrup has formed at the bottom of the pan, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Turn off heat. Add orange liqueur and almond extract. Stir in blanched almonds.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until time to serve. (It keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.) Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your dessert.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to remove the pits.
  • Toast the almonds before adding them to the dessert. This will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch.
  • Don't overcook the cherries. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the dessert warm or at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create the best experience.

Conclusion:

The cherry almond dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart cherry filling, crunchy almond topping, and creamy almond custard, this dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
