Sour Cherry Compote
I bought some sour cherries at the farmers market last week and made a compote with it this weekend. We ate it over ice cream yesterday, and I think I'll mix it with some ricotta for a snack when I get hungry later this morning.
Pitted the cherries over a saucepan to catch the juices, then mixed 3 tablespoons of sugar with 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch and whisked that into the juices with a little bit of water. Boiled that for five minutes, then added the cherries and cooked them for another couple of minutes. Poured into a bowl and chilled it.

Checked to see if the pork chop recipe was on your blog. Did you end up making them?
My pies were a hit at our barbeque. Our neighbor was picking his sour cherries today-I hope he brings us some.

I LOVE sour cherries. I'm very jealous that you can buy them fresh. I've never seen them fresh, but I do go through a large jar of bottled ones every few weeks. I eat them with vanilla yogurt for breakfast. What a great idea to have them with ricotta though. I'll have to make some ricotta just to try it!
