Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 pounds fresh sour cherries, pitted (1 pound quick-frozen sour cherries may be substituted)
1/2 cup firmly packed lemon verbena leaves
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 cup not-too-sweet riesling
8 ounces mascarpone cheese

4 pinches mace

Steps:

  • In a large nonreactive bowl, mix cherries, lemon verbena, sugar, mace and wine. Cover tightly, and macerate at least 24 hours.

  • Put juice in blender, and blend it fine. Strain through medium strainer, pressing to extract all liquid. Pour juice over cherries, reserving 1/4 cup.
  • In small bowl, soften cheese with spatula; slowly stir in reserved juice until mixture is smooth.

I used frozen sour cherries in this recipe, and they worked perfectly. I just thawed them before using.

I love that this recipe uses mascarpone cheese instead of heavy cream. It makes the cream lighter and less dense.
