Cherry Soup-


From my catering days, I really like cold fruit soup in the summer. The closet I saw to getting any this year was a cold peach soup at Whole Foods but mother does not the cream based ones. So I went looking in the archives and found one that was the closest to what I had back then.


Ingredients:
2.5 lbs. fresh cherries
3 cups of water
4 oz. of sugar
cinnamon
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tsp starch flour



Wash and pit the cherries. Put cherries in a pot and cover with cold water. Add sugar, a pinch of cinnamon and the juice of the lemon. Bring to a boil once. Dissolve the starch flour in a little cold water and add to the soup stir well. Let the soup cool down. Cover and chill the soup for two hours in the refrigerator.
