10 tip, når man laver kirsebær sprød:

Brug friske eller optøede frosne kirsebær - fungerer enten godt, men dræn overskydende juice fra frosne.
Juster sukker baseret på tærten i dine kirsebær.
Mandelekstrakt forbedrer kirsebærsmag - spring det ikke over!
Hold smøret koldt for en crunchy, smuldrende topping.
Brug dine hænder til at smuldre topping jævnt for bedre struktur.
Tilføj en spiseskefuld hakkede nødder til topping til knas og rigdom.
Overbage ikke, eller frugten kan blive grødet - se efter boblende kanter og gylden topping.
Lad det afkøle i 10-15 minutter, før de serveres for at tykkere safterne.
Top med vaniljeis eller pisket fløde for ekstra overbærenhed.
Opbevar rester dækket i køleskabet og genopvarm forsigtigt i ovnen eller mikrobølgeovnen.

Server det med forslag:

En øl af vaniljebønne is
Frisk pisket fløde med et strejf af mandelekstrakt
Græsk yoghurt for en let twist
En duskregn af honning eller ahornsirup
Ristede mandler eller pekannødder drysset ovenpå
Kanel-støvet varm mælk eller latte
En varm bærkompott ske over toppen
Vanilla Custard eller Crème Anglaise
