This cherry compote is made from a blend of Oblacinska sour cherries and dark cherries sourced primarily from Europe. It stands out for its intense red colour, generous fruit pieces and characteristic sour cherry flavour, combining fruity intensity, freshness and delicate acidity. Lightly sweetened, it delivers authentic fruit presence and texture to verrines, inserts, pastries and frozen dessert applications.
Soak the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften. Mettre la gélatine à réhydrater dans de l’eau froide 10 minutes. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar with Earl Grey tea. Drain the gelatin and add in the saucepan. Stir frequently. Filter the mix and pour in 10 verrines (fill only up to half of the verrine). Refrigerate for 4 hours.
2. Caramelized pistachios
In a saucepan combine the sugar with water. Heat the mixture over high heat until the sugar has dissolved. Off the heat, add the pistachios to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the caramel. Continue to cook the pistachios in the caramel stirring continuously. Remove from the saucepan and transfer the caramelized pistachios to the baking sheet to let them cool completely before breaking them into small clusters.
