I love this time of year when cherries are plentiful..Love their color..shape..taste..
I found this that intrigued me..

The addition of the red wine just sounded so delicious..and it is..
A perfect soup:) As Dominique calls it.."Soupe Aux Cerises"~

Ingredients are simple..



Some red wine too of course..

and le tour est joué..



Delicious summer dessert on the porch..

Served over your favorite ice cream~

  2. Looks really good -- cherries are just coming to market here -- alas they are from Washington -- the prairie is not a good cherry state!

  5. This sounds wonderful, Monique. Cherries are a favorite and we should see them in the market in a few weeks. I can almost taste this over ice cream.
