Once June arrives, I always have a few cherries on hand. You can eat raw cherries or cooked cherries, from clafoutis to cherry sorbet, without forgetting cupcakes… But mostly I love this cherry sauce recipe. It’s simple and allows you to use red wine, which pairs well with ice cream. You can also accompany a yoghurt, a slightly sweetened pannacotta, or a cheesecake. Try it urgently!
