Berries in Fresh Cherry Syrup image

In this simple dessert, fresh fruit is the star. Lemon juice brings out the sweetness of summer cherries and berries. Any red berries work here-fresh red currants, black currants, and gooseberries are great options, too.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound Bing cherries, pitted
1/2 cup sugar
1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved
1 pint raspberries
1/2 pint blueberries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Lemon sorbet, fromage blanc, or whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the cherries, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. Gently stir in the strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and lemon juice. Let stand for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 day.
  • Serve topped with lemon sorbet, fromage blanc, or whipped cream.
