Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 500 g sweet cherries, fresh
- 2 tbsp sugar, to taste
- n. B. water
Instructions
Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours 30 minutes
for the microwave
Wash the cherries, pit them (not necessary!), and place them in a microwave-safe container with a lid. I usually use the Tupperware Micro-Cook 1-liter container. Add sugar to taste and mix. Then add enough water to cover the cherries. Cover. Microwave at 600 watts for about 6-10 minutes. After 6 minutes, check how soft the cherries are, as every microwave is different. If necessary, cook for another 4 minutes. Then let the compote cool. Caution: The compote will continue to thicken. So if the broth seems a bit watery at first, it will take on a reddish color after cooling. On hot days, the compote tastes especially good if it has been chilled in the refrigerator first. Goes well with pancakes or similar dishes. Note: Grandma Grete obviously didn’t have a microwave. Therefore, it is recommended to use a saucepan for larger quantities of cherries. The same procedure: First, bring the cherries to a boil and then simmer the compote on medium heat for another 5-10 minutes.
