Cherries poached in red wine

Garnet and ruby tones of summer delight with a hint of booze. Amazing on top of vanilla ice cream or plain coconut yoghurt.

  • 400g cherries, pitted and halved
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 200ml red wine
  • ½ tsp cornflour stirred into 1 tsp cold water
  1. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan
  2. Bring to a bubble, stirring occasionally
  3. Simmer for 8-10 mins until glossy but not collapsing
  4. Drizzle in the cornflour slurry, stirring all the time until it goes thicker and beautifully shiny
  5. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little bit before serving
