Yield: 200g total
Ingredients
- 300g fresh cherries (net weight after removing stalks and seeds = circa 250g)
- 15ml (1/2 TBSP) fresh lemon juice
- 2 TBSP icing 'sugar' (U.S. alternative HERE) (or Make your Own)
- 4g (1/2 TBSP) kuzu root (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 TBSP water
- 1 tsp vanilla paste (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- cut the flesh of the cherries away from the seeds and stalks and place them in a small, heavy-base saucepan with lemon juice and icing 'sugar'.
- bring to the boil, then simmer on medium until mushy and reduced (about 20 mins - depending on ripeness of the fruit and size of cut pieces).
- crush and dilute kuzu in 1 TBSP water, add it to the cherry compote and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- leave to cool for 10 mins, then purée to your desired consistency using an immersion (stick) blender.
- add vanilla paste, check and adjust sweetness to taste.
- once completely cooled, transfer to a sealable jar and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
The best way to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients is with Metric Kitchen Scales. They are inexpensive and take up very little space. Click HERE for the ones I use. For U.S. option click HERE.
For even greater accuracy, I used precision scales to weigh the kuzu (U.S. option HERE).
