How to make it

  • Combine cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, arrowroot, almond extract, grated lemon zest and cinnamon together in a sauce pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until mixture simmers, about 4 - 5 minutes. Pour into a lightly buttered 2 quart baking dish.
  • In a food processor or mixer, add flour, remaining sugar, baking powder and salt and pulse 2 or 3 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until just combined but still crumbly. Add cream, egg, vanilla and pulse again just to combine and form a smooth batter.
  • Drop batter by heaping teaspoons on top of cherry mixture, leaving space in between. Sprinkle almonds over and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until top is lightly browned and cherry mixture is bubbling. Serve warm or at room temperature
  • with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or slightly sweetened whipped cream.
