Cherries in red wine

Prepare the ingredients. To make cherry dessert in red wine, we'll need: fresh or frozen, pitted cherries; red wine with a bright aroma; zest from the orange half; dry mixture for cherry jelly; sugar; cinnamon stick.

If the cherry is frozen, you do not need to defrost it. If fresh, then wash, dry, remove the stalks and bones. The juice that stands out at the same time is better preserved.

Remove a thin layer of zest from the orange, trying not to grab the white part, otherwise the dessert will mustard.

Grind the orange zest with a knife as small as possible.

In a saucepan, combine cherries (and juice from fresh cherries, if any), sugar, orange zest, cherry jelly powder (you can take any other red jelly, such as blackcurrant, but I wanted to emphasize the cherry flavor) and a cinnamon stick.

Pour in the wine. Wine can be used any - dry, sweet, semi-sweet. When choosing sweet wine, it is better to reduce the amount of sugar to 1 tbsp. l. , or even remove it altogether (after all, there is already sugar in the composition of the mixture for jelly), otherwise the dessert will turn out to be cloying.

Put the saucepan on the heat, bring the wine to a boil and cook over a low heat, stirring, for 20-25 minutes.

Remove the cinnamon stick. If you don't like the orange zest in dessert, it's better to take it out too when it gives its scent to the wine. But in this case, it is better to add it in large pieces so that they can be easily caught. I left the zest in the dessert itself, so I immediately chopped it finely.

Spread the cherries in the wine into glasses or creams and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until completely set.

Decoration. To decorate the finished dessert, we need: whipping cream (33-35% fat); vanilla sugar.

Beat the cold cream together with vanilla sugar into a thick, stable foam. Put the cream in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to cool and keep the shape better.

Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag. If you serve dessert right away, you can immediately deposit the whipped cream for dessert. If the dessert is served later, then it is better to prepare the whipped cream just before serving. You can use ready-made whipped cream from a can.

Garnish the dessert with whipped cream before serving. Enjoy your meal!
