Recipe by Melia Marden If you can't find almond syrup, floral, almond-flavored orgeat syrup is a fine substitute.

Ingredients

4 cups pitted fresh red or black cherries (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup almond syrup (such as Monin or Torani)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
7 cups plain Greek yogurt, stirred to loosen
1 cup whole raw almonds, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Bring cherries, almond syrup, sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly syrupy but cherries still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool completely. Chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
Divide yogurt among bowls. Spoon cherries with juices over. Garnish with chopped almonds.
