Jubilant Cherries

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

VERY IMPORTANT:

Cherries that are a YES/Caution are Montmorency cherries. They are the same ones used in pies. If you buy a can of them they will say “TART” on the can and packed in WATER. DO NOT use ones packed in heavy syrup.

Bing cherries AND Queen Anne Cherries are a HUGE NO! They are very high carb. Twice as high as Montmorency cherries.

If you think you might get confused err on the side of caution and do NOT eat cherries.

Servings: Serving size 1/3 cup, cooked

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of TART (Montmorency) cherries packed in WATER only (You can also use fresh or frozen Montmorency cherries. These are the ones sold in Door County, WI for example)
• 2 Tbl of cornstarch dissolved in ¼ cup of water
• 2 tsp of organic vanilla
• 4 tsp Truvia
• ½ – 1 tsp of almond flavoring

Instructions:

Put the ingredients in a pan and bring to a low boil, stirring often. (If you use fresh cherries you’ll need to add a cup of water to make up for the liquid in the can.) Boil at a slow bubble until the cornstarch kicks in and you get a thick sauce. Tastes just like pie filling. The color will be more pale because you will not be pouring in a bunch of red dye. You don’t need those chemicals in your system.

In ZReboot you can eat these cherries on top of a small portion of ice cream. SMALL portion is 1/3 cup. I highly recommend the ice cream by SO Delicious (NOT SOY Delicious). SO Delicious ice cream is made with coconut milk instead of cow milk. Your digestive system will thank you for it and I bet you won’t even notice the difference. The ice cream is not a real need. You can also eat these cherries over sweetened mascarpone (or cream cheese) and have a delightful Z3 dessert. Another idea would be to eat some of these over the almond pound cake. Big YUM!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
