Flathead Cherry Compote image

This simple compote is a great accompaniment to roasted lamb or beef. We live in Flathead cherry country so that's what I use, but any sweet dark cherry will work. If using frozen cherries, it usually isn't necessary to add the water.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my compote turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much water.

This compote is a little tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great served with something sweet, like ice cream or yogurt.

I'm not a big fan of cherries, but this compote is actually really good. The tartness is balanced out by the sweetness of the sugar.
