Instructions
1
Pit and halve the cherries, discarding any stems.
2
Place cherries, sugar, water, lemon juice and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat.
3
Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens into a light syrup and reduces by about a third.
4
Remove from heat and let the compote cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
5
Spoon the chilled compote into two small bowls.
6
Top each bowl with a dollop of chilled Greek yogurt and a scatter of chopped pistachios just before serving.
