Cherries

The abundance of cherries made it possible for me to buy a box of these yummy sweet fruits, something I have never done before. And with so many to eat I decided to make some cherry topping. Can't call it jam as I wasn't prepared to boil it for that long and I made up the recipe as I went along. First to pit the cherries.

Cut the cherries.

Simmer with lemon juice and lemon rind.

Add sugar and simmer further.

My secret ingredient! And the result tastes wonderful with yoghurt.

Did try some fabric colouring but the colour wasn't set in the cloth so washed out to leave brown stains.
