Spiced Cherry Soup

Simply Sensational Desserts: 140 Classics for the Home Baker from New York's Famous Patisserie and Bistro
2000 IACP Award Winner - Bread, Other Baking, Sweets
François Payard with Tim Moriarty and Tish Boyle
1999, Broadway Books, a division of Random House, New York

“I look
forward to summer every year, and one reason is cherries. They are so
delicious and so confounding – cherry pie aside, sometimes people don’t know
what to do with them, especially sour cherries. This soup is a great way to
use
sour cherries, but if you don’t like their tartness, you can use either
sweet black
cherries or white cherries. I don’t recommend mixing them; the
color of the
soup will be unappealing…”
Makes 8
servings
Flavor Sachet
1 cinnamon
stick
1 star anise
1 whole clove
Grated zest of
1 lime
Grated zest of
1 lemon
Grated zest of
1 orange
Soup
1 1/2 pounds
(680 grams) fresh cherries, pitted
3/4 cup (150
grams) sugar
Garnish
1 pound (453
grams) fresh cherries, pitted and
cut in half,
or into thirds if large
8 mint sprigs
1. Make the
flavor sachet: Place the cinnamon stick, star anise, clove,
and citrus
zests in the center of a 4-inch square of cheesecloth. Bring
the corners of
the cloth together to form a pouch and tie it securely
with kitchen string;
set the sachet aside.
2. Make the
soup: Combine the cherries, 3 1/4 cups (767 grams) water,
and the sugar in
a large saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan
from the heat and add the flavor sachet. Cover the pan
and let stand for 2
hours to blend and bring out the flavors.
3. Remove the
sachet from the soup. Pour the food into a food processor
or blender and
process until smooth. Strain the soup through a sieve into
a large bowl.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
4. Serve the
soup: Pour the soup into bowls and garnish with the cherries
and mint
sprigs.
