Cherry Pastila
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'd like to share my method of making cherry marshmallow. However, you can slightly modify the process: instead of pouring water over the cherries, simply sprinkle them with sugar and wait until the berries release their juice. Then reduce them in their own juice. In our southern regions, cherry marshmallow is a treat for bare-bottomed kids who run around the streets all day and occasionally rush into the yard for a snack. And right on time, the cherry marshmallow is ready! :) Wishing you success in preparing it. Serve chilled.
