Ingredients
- 3 cardamom pods
- 2 cloves
- 1 tsp river salt
- 1 small stick of cinnamon
- 600 g pitted cherries
- 75 g brown sugar
- 1 piece lemon peel
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
In a mortar and pestle, gently bash the cardamom, peel off and discard the outer skin then add the clove and pound together until very fine.
Place this spice mix along with the cinnamon stick, salt and lemon peel into a saucepan with the cherries and the sugar. Cook over a gentle heat for about 10 minutes or until the mix starts to caramelise and look a little thick. Add the lemon juice, stir, remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, fish out your cinnamon and lemon peel.
