Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cherries, pits, and stems removed (or use frozen pitted cherries*)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (I used whole milk Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
Instructions
- To make compote, combine the cherries, orange juice, vanilla, maple syrup, and sea salt in a saucepan.
- Put the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, turn down the heat to low.
- Simmer, stirring now and then, until the cherries are soft and the sauce has thickened and reduced by half. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the compote to a bowl; stirring occasionally to cool it down. (Or refrigerate, covered, until chilled, about 1-2 hours.)
- To serve, divide the yogurt equally into 4 bowls. Then, top each bowl with compote, a drizzle of sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped almonds.
Notes
*When using frozen cherries, you will need to cook them for longer than 15 minutes due to the extra ice and water, about an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
