Ingredients

  • 2.5 tablespoons honey 
  • cup mascarpone cheese 
  • inch orange zest 
  • 2.3 cups red wine 
  • cup sugar 
  • pounds cherries sweet pitted halved

Equipment

Directions

  1. In a medium stainless-steel saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, and orange zest. Bring to a simmer over moderately high heat.
  2. Add the cherries and bring back to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the cherries are just tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour into a glass or stainless-steel bowl so the cherries don't overcook.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone with the honey.
  5. Remove the strip of orange zest from the cherries.
  6. Serve the warm cherries and syrup in bowls or stemmed glasses, topped with a large dollop of the mascarpone cream.
  7. Serve the mascarpone cream with cut up fresh fruit or mixed berries instead of with the poached cherries.
