Dessert: Bing Cherries in Red Wine Sauce
on
Published in ArcaMax Chef
2 cups dry red wine
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest
2 pounds Bing cherries
Combine wine, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and lemon zest in a saucepan and simmer until sugar melts. Place cherries in a baking dish and pour wine sauce over the cherries. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Serve over vanilla ice cream, or frozen yogurt. You may use canned cherries if you cannot find fresh. If using canned cherries then just lessen the cooking time by about 10 minutes.
The Skinny: Use your favorite sugar substitute. We have yet to find a substitute for red wine in any cookbook.
