|
Cherry Soup.....really a dessert 
2 1/2 pounds pitted dark, sweet cherries (fresh if you can find and afford them, I use frozen) 3 pounds makes it thicker
4 cups water
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, Molasses is a great instead-gives it a stronger taste.
Juice of 1 lemon
Whipped cream or yogurt for topping (optional) (we prefer chocolate Redi-whip)
In large saucepan bring cherries, water and honey/maple syrup to boil, reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes.
Cool completely before next step.
Blend cherries and liquid with the lemon juice, add more honey/maple syrup if needed, until smooth.
Chill thoroughly. Ladle into bowls and top with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt.

Eileen,
You mentioned a few tweaks to the recipe. Let me know what you add or change, we will have to try them too.
I am using Molasses as the sweetner this year, we like the stronger flavor. I will let you know how it turns out.

I changed up the recipe just a bit yesterday, turned out really good.
I used molasses instead of honey or syrup. 1/4 cup to begin with, then added almost another 1/4 cup when blending the cherries. We like it much better.
Also, the frozen cherries were in one pound bags and instead of having half a bag leftover I used all three pounds. The soup was much thicker which we also liked much better.
