Cold Cherry Soup With Mango Recipes

Steps:

• Combine wine, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a pot large enough to fit cherries and bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Simmer about 5 minutes longer, until the strong aroma of alcohol goes away. Add cherries, and kumquats if using. Adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook until cherries are quite tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and add more sugar if you like. Pour into bowl to cool, then refrigerate. (Or, to speed it up, place bowl in larger bowl filled with ice water; stir, adding ice as necessary.)
• Divide cherries and broth among 4 bowls, garnish with mango and dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream, and serve.

Steps:

• Pit the cherries, and place the pitted cherries in a bowl and the pits in a large soup pot. Add the water to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer five minutes. With a skimmer, remove the pits from the water. Add the sugar, red wine, salt and lemon zest, and bring back to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil five minutes, then add the cherries. Bring to a simmer, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer five minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Place the yogurt in a large bowl and slowly whisk in a cup of the liquid from the soup once it is no longer simmering. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Slowly add the rest of the soup, and whisk or stir until smooth. Allow to cool, stirring from time to time, then refrigerate until cold. Before serving, you will have to stir or whisk again, as the liquid and yogurt will separate. Still, the soup is easily homogenized.
• Serve in bowls or in glass tumblers. If you wish, garnish with additional halved, pitted fresh cherries.

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar, and cinnamon in saucepan; bring to a boil, and add cherries.

Steps:

• Place the dried apples and cherries in a medium saucepan with water to cover by an inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the apples and cherries are soft enough to puree, about 30 minutes.
• Puree with a food processor or immersion blender and return to low heat. Transfer 1/4 cup of the puree to a separate bowl and whisk in the cornstarch until the mixture is smooth. Whisking constantly, pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
• Stir in the buttermilk, cover, and chill thoroughly, at least 3 hours. Ladle the soup into 4 soup bowls and sprinkle each serving with lime juice.

Steps:
