Preparation

1. Sprinkle the sugar evenly in a cold sauté pan (about 21 cm in diameter). Melt the sugar without stirring – on a high heat for 2 minutes to begin with, then reduce to a medium heat – until the sugar is light brown.

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

3. Leave the cherry compote to cool slightly and then add the whole almonds and pour the compote into jars.
