Method

  1. Make the base

    Bring the water to the boil with the cinnamon, cloves, a pinch of salt, and the lemon juice and zest, then simmer gently so the spices release their flavour.

    10 min
  2. Add the cherries

    Stir the sugar and pitted sour cherries into the spiced base, then cook for a few minutes until the fruit is soft. Remove the lemon zest and spices.

    5 min
  3. Thicken

    Mix the cream smoothly with the flour. Temper it by stirring in a few tablespoons of the hot soup, then pour it into the pan and, stirring constantly, thicken lightly without boiling for long.

    5 min
  4. Chill

    Take the soup off the heat and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours until thoroughly ice-cold.
