cherries

It's Sunday afternoon and I'm trying to recover from one of the best nights we've had, but more on that later :)
Anyway I got given more cherries from my neighbours. This time a whole kilo!!
To not let this go to waste I looked into preserving recipes and found a yummy one in my beloved Tuscan cook book.

Cooked cherries in syrup with mint! Ruth, Ian and Lisl stayed for lunch and we had some for dessert today with left over mascarpone and soy vanilla ice cream. Ridiculously good!
