  • 120 g candied cherries

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Boil the sugar with 200 ml water in a pot and slowly caramelize while stirring. Reduce to a syrupy consistency and remove from heat. Let it cool slightly, stir in the crème double, and return to low heat. Allow to thicken lightly into a creamy sauce.
