continue with doing the same with the rest of the mixture

 

to make cherry syrup,

remove the stones from the cherries and add in a pan with sugar and water or kirsch if using,

stir until the sugar has melted, use a wooden spoon to smash up the cherries.

cook over a medium head until the liquid reduces and it turns thick and syrup like ( a few minutes)

 

pour through sift and put the syrup in one dish and the cooked cherries in a another.

whip the cream until stiff peaks and add a layer of cream to the crepe then sprinkle some cherry pieces and drizzle over some syrup and fold up.
