MONIN Premium Black Forest Syrup 700ml

Product Information

Many years ago, we did some digging to find a recipe, and source the ingredients, to make our own at home. place drained cherries in a medium bowl, and add to the bowl 1/4 cup Kirsch and 1/2 cup cherry juice from can.

Very nice most of them were too, despite our political differences, but for me, the real highlight was a coach stop in the Black Forest, where I watched a bored-looking chef assembling endless schwarzwälder kirschtorte in a volley of flashbulbs. The most contentious aspect of the whole affair; most of the recipes I find use a light, fatless sponge, which makes sense given the amount of cream it is generally considered necessary to ladle on top.

If you find this part difficult, you can grate chocolate using a microplane or vegetable peeler and cover only the top of the cake with chocolate. Hi Lidia, a great tip for making chocolate shavings if you are shaving them yourself from a chocolate bar: heat the chocolate bar just slightly , not so it’s melted but just warmed up.

I do like her morello cherry jam, though, which brings a more well-rounded cherry flavour to every mouthful; essential when the preserved sort often lack punch. I’d recommend the former if you must (it does have the benefit of being considerably cheaper than proper kirschwasser), but if you can run to it, it’s a nice excuse to splash out and then drink the rest of the bottle at your leisure.I find this rings true: if you use enough syrup (of which more later), then the cake becomes somewhat tricky to assemble for the amateur.
