INGREDIENTS

* Multiply the ingredients for a larger amount

100g fresh strawberries
100g canned black pitted cherries in syrup
¼ cup sugar
Juice of 2 lemons
Crushed graham/digestive biscuits/biscuit crumble- optional
Homemade yogurt

METHOD

1.   Rinse strawberries and chop into smaller pieces.
2.   Strain 100 grams of the canned black cherries then chop into smaller pieces.
3.   Place chopped fruit into a large bowl and cover fruit with sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice, mix well.
4.   Cover the bowl and set aside in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to macerate (breakdown of fruit). The longer you leave it, the better the results.
5.   Divide your preferred homemade yogurt into bowls or use the individual 400mL Luvele ceramic yogurt containers.  
6.   Layer macerated fruit and syrup between extra dollops of yogurt.
7.   If topping with crushed graham/digestive biscuits, use a resealable sandwich bag and a small tenderising mallet or mortar and pestle to crush the biscuits. Top with crushed graham/digestive biscuits and serve.
