I am a big lover of compote, it is so versatile, effortless and I have yet to meet anyone who does not love it. This is a family friendly recipe that can be used on ice creams, pancakes, toast, punches, as a sweet accent to pork chops, or even in your next cherry pie. I love that the Stemilt cherry season lasts until September, I can make a pot of this and still enjoy fresh cherries while I watch the first leaves falling out side.

Ingredients

Fresh stemilt cherries 5 Cup (80 tbs) , pitted
Orange juice 1 Cup (16 tbs)
Sugar 1/2 Cup (8 tbs)

Directions

GETTING READY:

1. Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan

2. Then, reduce heat to low allowing them to simmer for 10 minutes until cherries are soft.

MAKING:

3. Once soft, transfer the cherries to a medium heatproof bowl and continue to simmer for a further 20 minutes until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

SERVING:

4. Once reduced, pour the reduced sauce over cherries and serve warm or allow to cool before storing in an air tight jar.
