Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1.5 cups water
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup heavy cream or yogurt (optional, for garnish)
- 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Add the pitted fresh cherries, fresh raspberries, water, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon to a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 7-8 minutes until the fruit softens and releases its juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool down to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If desired, strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and achieve a silky texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and transfer the soup to a large bowl or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well chilled.
When ready to serve, ladle the cold cherry raspberry soup into serving bowls and garnish with a drizzle of heavy cream or yogurt, if desired. Add fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing summer treat!
