Cherries in Almond Syrup Over Greek Yogurt Recipe

Cherries in Almond Syrup Over Greek Yogurt Recipe

  • 4 cups pitted fresh red or black cherries (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup almond syrup (such as Monin or Torani)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 7 cups plain Greek yogurt, stirred to loosen
  • 1 cup whole raw almonds, coarsely chopped
  1. Bring cherries, almond syrup, sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly syrupy but cherries still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool completely. Chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
  2. Divide yogurt among bowls. Spoon cherries with juices over. Garnish with chopped almonds.
