• 3⁄4 cup lambrusco dry wine
• 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
• 1 lb fresh pitted cherries, plus 8 whole ones (to garnish)

directions

1. Pour in a large saucepan 3/4 cups of water, Lambrusco wine, sugar, honey, cloves and zest and bring to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to minimum and cook the mixture for other 10 minutes.
2. Remove cloves and zest and add cherries. Raise the heat again to medium and cook for 15 minutes or until cherries become very soft.
3. Let cool. Blend the mixture in a blender, then pass through a fine sieve. If you want a less liquid soup you can blend a softened sheet of gelatin over a very low heat for a couple of minutes.
4. Pour into cups and refrigerate for about an hour. Serve with a couple of whole cherries inside each cup.
