Cherry recipe - Delicious dessert recipe with caramelized cherries

You can buy the first cherries at the end of April, but May and June are the best months to enjoy Mediterranean juicy cherries, their succulent taste, intense bright red, erotic look.

The first known cherry trees sprang up around the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. They arrived late in Catalonia, where cherry trees are rather young, compared to memorable olive trees or almond trees.

Here is a quick easy delicious cherry dessert recipe:

Caramelized cherries

1-pound cherries
1-pound sugar
1-cup water

Wash the cherries but don't pull off the stems. Set aside.

Add the sugar and water to a saucepan and heat over low heat stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture has caramelized. If the caramel sauce is too thick, add a little water.

Now take the cherries one by one and dip them in the caramel sauce. Distribute them artistically in a plate. If you want to introduce your children to cooking, this recipe is perfect for it. They will end up dirty with caramel, but they always enjoy it a lot.

Decorate the cherry plate with small mint sprigs and leaves and serve. Your children will love this dessert recipe, but grown-ups also, I reckon.
