Here's a classic Polish dish and an interesting take on fruit soups offered by T. Ron Jasinski-Herbert.

3 pints cherries (6 cups)
1 Tbsp. cold water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. cloves
3/4 cup sour cream
4 cups water 1 tsp. cornstarch
noodles or croutons

Add the cherries, cinnamon, and cloves to the boiling water. Bring to boil again. Simmer for 15 minutes. Rub through a sieve. Add the cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbsp. cold water. Bring to boil. Add the sugar. Cool thoroughly. Add sour cream. Serve with noodles or croutons after the meat course.

Serves 6.
