Cherry compote with almonds

Ingredients

3½ tbsp sugar
1½ tbsp dark balsamic vinegar
5¼ oz stewed cherries – drained
a pinch flake salt
⅞ oz roasted blanched almonds

Serve with

1 Castello® Extra mature cheddar
3½ whole grain crispbread

Preparation

Preparation

Sprinkle the sugar evenly over a cold saute pan (about 8 inches diameter). Melt the sugar without stirring – over high heat for 2 minutes to begin with, then reduce to medium heat – until the sugar is light brown.

First add the vinegar to the sugar, stirring well, then add the cherries and salt. Cook the compote over medium heat for about 5 min., or until it starts to thicken – carefully stirring occasionally.

Let the cherry compote cool slightly. Then add the whole almonds and pour the compote into jars.

Tips & tricks

The cherry compote will keep covered in the refrigerator for about a week. Best served with Castello® Extra Mature Cheddar and whole grain crispbread.
