Cold Cherry SoupSweet soup — that’s meant to be served cold. If you’ve never cooled off with a dish like that on a hot summer evening, try this sweet and spicy soup made with fresh cherries, quality maple syrup, and a touch of black currant liqueur. Cherries are at their best now, at least where I live. Drawing juice from whole fresh ginger may be an uncommon process in western cooking, but it isn’t difficult; you can find instructions here. The recipe comes to us from the Hawthorne Inn in Concord, Massachusetts, a comfortable and traditional place for you to get away to.
