Instructions: Whisk the cherry juice, sour cream, sugar, and wine in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the cherries. Chill for 3 to 4 hours.

When ready to serve, ladle into small bowls and just flick a little superfine sugar over each one. Serve immediately with silver spoons.

Serve cool to cold to 4 to 6 people in small portions. But they may ask for another round....

Comments: I had kinda put this one off for a while, thinking it was going to be offputtingly odd. Not at all - in fact, it was downright fresh and appealing - and had me sneaking into the fridge for secret spoonsful. Traditionally its served as an appetizer - and for good reason. The tart-sweet-heady combination is just like an aperitif. But I think it would be a wonderful minimilist dessert as well after a rich meal. Marvelous with pork - and a snap to make.
