Cherry Compote Yogurt Topping

This seasonal cherry compote is a great addition to your homemade yogurt! It's an easy way to also control how sweet you like your yogurt.

5 MIN PREP
15 MIN COOK
20 MIN TOTAL
8 servings
Ingredients
cherries
1 pound frozen or fresh cherries, pitted
cherries
A lemon with a slice on the side.
1 lemon, zested and juiced
A lemon with a slice on the side.
A glass bottle of maple syrup.
1 tablespoon maple syrup
A glass bottle of maple syrup.
A small bottle of vanilla extract.
½ teaspoon almond extract
A small bottle of vanilla extract.
1 serving of homemade yogurt

Directions

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the cherries, lemon zest, juice and maple syrup. If using fresh cherries, add ½ cup water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and cook until the cherries have softened and juices accumulate, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the almond extract.
Using a potato masher or back of a large spoon or fork, mash the cherries into small pieces. Let the stewed cherries cool completely before serving on top of homemade yogurt. (Warm compote would also be delicious on ice cream!) Store in a glass jar with a lid and refrigerate for 2 weeks.
