Flathead Cherry Compote image

This simple compote is a great accompaniment to roasted lamb or beef. We live in Flathead cherry country so that's what I use, but any sweet dark cherry will work. If using frozen cherries, it usually isn't necessary to add the water.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover cherries. I had a bunch of cherries that were about to go bad, so I made this compote and it turned out great.

This compote is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a bit of sugar to it next time.

The flathead cherry compote was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The compote is thick and syrupy, with a beautiful deep red color. The cherries are still firm and have a slight tartness to them, which I love. I used it to top pancakes and it was delicious.
