Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups frozen sour cherries, 2 diced peeled Granny Smith apples, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Step 2: Once simmering, stir in 2 tbsp honey and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and cherries have broken down.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour mixed with 2 tbsp cold water to form a slurry. Continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the compote thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
