Cherry in wine

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Cherries can be used fresh or frozen, having previously thawed them at room temperature. Wine for such a dessert is suitable for sweet red, semi-sweet or dry. The set of spices can also be changed to your liking. Cherry berries are carefully sorted out, we remove leaves, debris, damaged berries, we wash them under running water and throw them into a colander to drain the water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cherries, as a rule, are frozen already washed, so we let them thaw at room temperature naturally and we can immediately use them to make dessert, it is no longer necessary to wash them so as not to lose juice. We put the prepared berries in a metal dish, add sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, you can add a couple of cloves to taste, pour red wine.

3. Step 3:

   

   Leave one tablespoon of wine in a glass. The wine can be used sweet, semi-sweet or dry, depending on what kind of dessert you want to get (sweeter or slightly sour). We put the dishes with cherries on the fire, let the mixture boil, reduce the heat to a minimum and boil the berries in wine for 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a spoon so that the syrup does not start to burn to the bottom of the dishes.

5. Step 4:

   

   Add corn starch to the glass with the remaining red wine (you can use ordinary potato starch, it will not overshadow the flavor of spices with its flavor) and mix the ingredients thoroughly so that the starch is completely dispersed.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour the mixture of wine with starch in a thin stream into a saucepan with cherries and continue to cook for a couple of minutes, stirring at the same time with a spoon, let the mixture thicken a little and turn off the fire. Let the dessert cool down a little, lay it out in bowls or cream bowls. In order for the dessert to keep its shape better and taste better (less sour), it is better to cool it for half an hour before serving in the refrigerator.
