WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Put the cherries and their juices in a saucepan. Blend the cornflour with 2tbsp cold water to make a paste and mix into the cherries along with a further 150ml water. Sprinkle with the sugar and then heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to the boil and cook for 1 min to thicken the sauce. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 30 min if serving warm, or completely to serve cold.
- When ready to serve, mix the almond extract into the cherry sauce. Lightly toast the waffles as directed. Whip the cream until softly peaking; sift the icing sugar on top and carefully fold into the cream to sweeten it.
- To serve, put one or two waffles on each serving plate. Spoon over the warm or cold cherry sauce and serve with a dollop of the sweet whipped cream.
Top Tip for making Waffles with almond cherry sauce
If you can’t find frozen cherries, used canned. Drain 2 x 425g cans pitted cherries in light syrup, and thicken the juice as directed above. You won’t need to add any extra sugar.
