Cherries stewed in red wine, ideal for ice cream, or with a cheesecake, although I prefer them inside a soft plumcake instead of blueberries. Cherries, the quintessential summer fruit, fresh and flavorful, adored by children and adults alike, are versatile in the kitchen and do not need to be consumed only fresh and just picked. I also make a fantastic cherry jam for pies and various desserts.
