What wine to pair with cherry desserts

What wine to pair with cherry desserts

Posted on June 9 2020 at 07:05

Cherry is one of the fruit flavours most often found in wine and liqueurs so does that make them a good pairing for cherry desserts? It depends how intense the cherry flavour is.

I’m not sure I ever enjoy marmalade more than the first time after I’ve made a new batch. Today it’s on the easy seed bread I made the other day (I froze half so had fresh bread to start the week) with glorious @ampersanddairy butter of which I still happily have a couple of packs. Made myself a proper cup of coffee (from @hasbean ana sora beans) to celebrate. I’m halfway through the #givingupstockingup challenge now (marmalade oranges don’t count cos a) they’re fresh fruit which I’m allowing myself and b) you can only buy them at this time of year) but I’m already realising this could easily go on for another month. Can I do it? Not sure I can or at least not with a bit of relaxing of the rules. But I should. Incidentally if you want to make my marmalade - or rather my mum’s - you’ll find a link to the recipe in my biog. . . . #sevilleoranges #marmalade #sevilleorangemarmalade #preserves #homemade #breakfastBit of a break from the #givingupstockingup challenge - Sunday lunch @bar44bristol which was really delicious and incredibly good value. We went for the overnight roasted lamb shoulder with chorizo Yorkshire pudding, jamon fat roast potatoes and Manchego cauliflower cheese. Hispi cabbage and carrots on the side. Classic British roast with a Spanish twist. . . . #sundayroast #roastlamb #roastpotatoes #cauliflowercheese #yorkshirepudding #eatlocal #clifton #bristol #bristolfoodWhen did you last make a quiche? A good while ago in my case and had forgotten what a great receptacle it was for fridge odds and ends. This was based on a chunk of @jennychandleruk’s Stilton (I’m giving her a good slice back in return), a couple of slow-cooked onions and some lardons and cream that needed using up. (Swopsies are permitted during the #givingupstockingup challenge) Swipe to see the extra-frugal bonus - a few biscuits rolled out from the offcuts which makes it worth making an interesting pastry - plain flour, rye flour and walnuts in this case. Brushed them with beaten egg and sprinkled them with some black sesame seeds - onion seeds would have been even better. Had a couple with a pear and some of the rest of the Stilton as a snackette. . . . #quiche #tart #bluecheese #stilton #biscuits #frugalfood #fridgeforaging #lovefoodhatewaste #loveyourleftovers #nospendchallengeIn case you thought I’d abandoned the #givingupstockingup challenge I haven’t and indeed managed to have a friend round without buying anything in. I made one of my favourite pasta dishes cacio e pepe which is basically just pasta (pici), crushed peppercorns and grated cheese (pecorino with a bit of parmesan). So easy, so tasty. Lunch was the remains of a chicken soup I’d made and frozen a couple of weeks ago. One of the lessons I’m learning from this whole exercise is not to hang onto things too long. It’s easy for them to be out of sight out of mind in the freezer. . . . #pasta #pici #pecorino #cheese #pepper #cacioepepe #soup #chickensoup #fridgeforaging #storecupboardcooking #frugalmeals #lovefoodhatewaste #loveyourleftovers Follow on Instagram
