SIMPLE TART CHERRY COMPOTE
Tart cherries are hard to find where I live but when we occasionally come across them, we look forward to making this recipe to put over local vanilla bean gelato. Sweet and tart all at the same time. Also delicious on ice cream, pound cake, pancakes, Greek yogurt... The options are endless! It's the taste of summer for our family! Keeps up to 3 days in the fridge.
