Cherry Compote

My in laws went upstate a little while ago where they picked cherries. They brought us back a HUGE bucket full of them! I was so overwhelmed- we needed to use them, and fast! They wouldn't last much longer, and I didn't want them to go to waste.

I knew that we'd never eat them all. So we decided to make a compote. We separated the best of the bunch for the kids to eat, the mediocre ones for the compote, and about 10% was already spoiled so that went to the garbage.

We washed and cooked the cherries...

Didn't add a thing! No sugar at all. It was delicious! So sweet. The kids thought it was cherry juice. Even Adel tasted a bit. Yum.

    It was work only because there were a bunch of bad ones to separate. Zusha just asked me to make more, so we'll buy more cherries, wash them and cook. It will be much easier that way.
