CHERRY SOUP



Cherry Soup image

My grandmother had talked about her cherry soup recipe for years, so when I received some of our state's famous Door County cherries, I just had to try it. My family liked it so well that I froze several quarts so we could enjoy it all winter! -Sue Bronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

SOUR CHERRY TART



Sour Cherry Tart image

Gloria Zimmerman picks well-ripened sour cherries from the cherry tree in a friend's yard each summer, pits them and freezes them. Although this tart can be made with sweet cherries, it is better made with sour cherries. The pate brisee recipe is very rich and must be handled with care to make it conform to the tart mold. The unglazed tart should not be refrigerated; it should be served while still lukewarm - difficult to do in a restaurant - with strong coffee.

Time 3h30m

Yield One 11-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 10

About 3/4 cup flour (4 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons ice-cold water
1 1/4 pounds sour cherries, pitted
2 tablespoons minute tapioca
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup almonds ground in a food processor with 1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • For the pate brisee, place the flour, sugar, salt and butter pieces in owl and crush the butter into the dry ingredients with the tips of your fingers until combined somewhat but with pieces of butter still visible in the mixture. Add the ice water and stir with a fork just until the mixture holds together. Gather it up, pressing it between your hands to flatten it and make it round, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one hour.
  • Rub a small amount of flour into a pastry cloth and roll the dough into a very thin circle, about 12 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and gently fit it into the bottom and up the sides of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough against the sides of the pan to fill in any holes and make it adhere to the metal. Remove any excess overhanging dough by rolling the rolling pin across the top of the pan. Refrigerate the tart shell for one hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the cherries, tapioca, sugar and almond extract. Sprinkle the ground almond-sugar mixture in the pastry shell and arrange the cherry mixture on top. Place the tart pan on a cookie sheet and bake in a 400-degree oven for one to one-and-a-quarter hours, until the dough is nicely browned. Unmold and serve with strong coffee.

COLD CHERRY SOUP



Cold Cherry Soup image

Many versions of cold cherry soup originated in Hungary and Poland, where cooks would use sour cherries and a lot of sugar. Traditional cherry soups also are made with sour cream and heavy cream, and sometimes they are thickened with flour. I like this lighter version, which is made with drained yogurt instead of cream.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield Serves six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 pounds sweet, dark cherries
1 cup drained yogurt

Steps:

  • Pit the cherries, and place the pitted cherries in a bowl and the pits in a large soup pot. Add the water to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer five minutes. With a skimmer, remove the pits from the water. Add the sugar, red wine, salt and lemon zest, and bring back to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil five minutes, then add the cherries. Bring to a simmer, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer five minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Place the yogurt in a large bowl and slowly whisk in a cup of the liquid from the soup once it is no longer simmering. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Slowly add the rest of the soup, and whisk or stir until smooth. Allow to cool, stirring from time to time, then refrigerate until cold. Before serving, you will have to stir or whisk again, as the liquid and yogurt will separate. Still, the soup is easily homogenized.
  • Serve in bowls or in glass tumblers. If you wish, garnish with additional halved, pitted fresh cherries.

TART CHERRY SOUP



Tart Cherry Soup image

I've adapted this dessert from one of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's recipes. It starts with his base soup, and I've added the tanginess of yogurt and the toasted nuttiness of sesame for depth of flavor and contrasting textures.

Yield serves 4 on it¿s own or 12 as part of fourplay

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds (567g) sour cherries
3/4 cup (180g) water
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons (90g) sugar
(makes about 2 cups)
Frozen Yogurt (page 230)
Sesame Tuiles (page 208)

Steps:

  • Pit the cherries. Put them in a saucepan with the water and sugar and stir. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar.
  • Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill overnight.
  • Spoon some of the soup into a small glass or bowl. Top with a scoop of frozen yogurt and garnish with a tuile. Repeat for each serving.
  • You can certainly buy frozen yogurt. And instead of making the tuiles, garnish with toasted sesame seeds or crumble some great halvah over the top.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh tart cherries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries. Just be sure to thaw and drain them before using.
  • Add a little sugar: Tart cherries are naturally tart, so you may want to add a little sugar to the soup to balance out the flavor. You can also use honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to flavor your soup. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
  • Garnish with something special: A dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a few fresh berries can add a special touch to your soup.

Conclusion:

Tart cherry soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this summer fruit. It's perfect for a light meal or a dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and impressive soup that will please everyone at your table.
