Notes

• For when it is late May/ early June and the cherries are abundant and you are just bored with your usual cherry bowl snack - liven it up with fresh herbs and cardamom!

• The mint and cardamom cools the heat of the cherries, the salt balances the sweetness while adding a little more moisture and hydration and the maple syrup enhances the sweetness while also balancing the heat of cherries.
