| Calorie information:Sour cherry preserve (1 tspn), 97 calories |
| INGREDIENTS |
1 kg firm sour cherries
1 kg caster sugar
300 ml water
1 teaspoon
lemon juice |  |
|
| METHOD |
Wash and stone the cherries. There is a special
implement for this, or you can use a forked hairpin. Their stoning has to be
done carefully in order to leave them intact. Place the stones in the water as
they are taken out; at the end remove the pips from the water and discard them.
Do not discard the water. Place the cherries and sugar in alternating layers in
a wide saucepan. Add the water strained from the stones, bring to the boil and
simmer for 20 minutes. Withdraw from the heat and let it stand for 24 hours.
Bring back to the boil, skim, add the lemon juice and boil rapidly, without
stirring, until it reaches setting point. Store in sterilized jars and seal
tightly.
Vissino Gliko is delicious served with thick plain yogurt or
with vanilla ice cream. Vissinada, a cherry drink, which is diluted with
water, is also made from the excess juices of the preserve. |
