How to make cherries in wine? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Cherries can be used fresh or frozen by pre-defrosting them at room temperature. A wine for such a dessert is suitable for red sweet, semi-sweet or dry. The spice set can also be changed to your liking. Cherry berries carefully, remove leaves, garbage, spoiled berries. Rinse the cherries under running water and roll back in a colander so that the glass berries have water.

Frozen cherries do not need to be washed, since they are usually frozen already washed. So berries should simply be allowed to thaw at room temperature naturally, and you can immediately use them to make dessert. Put the prepared berries in a metal bowl, add sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, you can add a couple of cloves to taste. Pour the berries with red wine.

Leave one tablespoon of wine in a glass, it will be needed to dissolve the starch. Place a bowl of cherries over a medium heat, let the mixture boil, reduce the heat to minimal and boil the berries in the wine for 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a spoon to prevent the syrup from starting to burn to the bottom of the utensils.

Add the starch to the glass with the remaining red wine. Mix everything thoroughly so that the starch completely spreads.

Pour the mixture of wine with starch into a saucepan with cherries in a thin trickle and continue to cook for a couple of minutes, stirring with a spoon. When the mixture thickens slightly, turn off the heat. When the dessert has cooled a little, spread it out into pials or creams. To keep the dessert in shape better and taste nicer (less sour), it is better to cool it for half an hour before serving in the fridge.

You can serve such a treat to the festive table by decorating with a couple of spoons of thick cream, crushed walnuts or grated chocolate. Enjoy your meal!
