For the cherry compote:

  • Add some water to the pitted cherries and sprinkle with brown sugar. Let it soak in overnight to extract the juice

  • Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and add to the cherry juice. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, and then add the cherries. Finished.
  • The dessert tastes best when the quark is well chilled and served with the hot cherries. As a "fiery" addition, one rum cherry per serving.
