Cherries are the best fruit on the planet and sadly have a very short season. Falling over the middle of summer they scream Christmas to those of us living in the Southern Hemisphere. This recipe for cherries preserved in spiced port is wonderful to make for now or later. Whilst feeling very festive they are a delicious dessert all year round.

A bowl of chilled cherries makes the perfect snack and my December is always filled with red-stained fingers. Since they are so special and only visit us for a short season, it’s best to buy them in bulk and directly from the farm.
