Perfect for a summer pavlova!

Written By Amanda Starkey

I can’t keep this to myself, a little cheerful recipe of my poached cherries. They go perfectly with a summer pav or trifle!

Poached Cherries

1 cup caster sugar

1 cup water

500g cherries with stalks left on

1 cinnamon stick

1 star anise

For the cherries, put the sugar, cinnamon, and star anise in a pan with 1 cup of water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cherries and simmer for 7 minutes. Remove the cherries and keep simmering the liquid for 10 minutes or until it’s a nice syrupy consistency. Put the cherries back and leave to cool.
