    Cook's Notes
  • 8
    Other fruits such as stoned apricots, sweet plums, peaches, nectarines and of course cherries are all suitable fruits for making a variation of the dish.
  • 9
    This type of dessert has the best flavour and texture when served just warm or at room temperature rather than chilled.
