PREPARATION
1. Place the cherries in a pot. Add the sugar and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes while
constantly stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add the water and increase the heat to high. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to medium heat.
Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes over a simmer until the cherries are tender and the liquid has
taken on the cherries’ color.

(with no lumps). Add the rest of the cream into the bowl while stirring until combined well and smooth.
Pour 1 ladle full of the cherry soup into the cream and flour mixture and stir until combined well.
Add the cream and cherry soup mixture back into the pot. Stir and increase the heat to high. Bring the
soup back to a boil and reduce the heat to medium or a simmer. Continue cooking uncovered for 10
to 15 more minutes while stirring constantly until the soup thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
4. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

PREPARATION
1. Fill a container, large enough to fit the matzo, ¾ the way up with room temperature water,
and add ¼ teaspoon of salt. Soak the matzo sheets in the salted water, one at a time for about 30 seconds
until the matzo is soft but it can still hold its shape. Transfer the matzo sheets onto a towel and pat dry.
2. Squeeze and crush the matzos with your hands over a bowl, discarding as much water as possible.
Place the drained and crushed matzo into a large bowl. Continue crushing the matzo well until there are
only small pieces left. Add the eggs, parmesan cheese, if using, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt.
Mix with your hands to form a smooth dough like mixture.
3. Place the cast iron Aebleskiver pan or a flat medium skillet over medium-high heat and fill each cavity
half way with ¼ teaspoon oil, or add 1 tablespoon of oil if using a flat skillet.
4. Once the pan is hot, lower the heat to medium. Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture to form
a golf-sized ball and place into the cavities of the pan or into the skillet.
5. Cook fritters until golden brown on each side, about 3 to 5 minutes and use a skewer to flip the fritters
in the Aebleskiver pan or a spatula to flip the fritters in the skillet. Transfer the fritters to a paper-towel
lined plate. Continue frying the remaining fritters in batches.
6. Once all the fritters are fried, drizzle 1 generous tablespoon of honey over the fritters and serve hot.
