If you don’t have a cherry pitter you can leave the cherry pips in, which only adds more flavour.

Preparation

1. Place the honey or agave syrup and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

2. Place the cherries in a non-stick ovenproof dish large enough to hold them in a single layer and pour the dressing over them.

3. Stir to combine evenly, then pat the cherries flat again.

4. Put the dish in the oven for 20 minutes.

5. Divide the cherries between 2 serving bowls, spoon over the cooking juices, and top with a spoonful of yoghurt and a sprinkling of chopped mint leaves.
