Sour cherry and almond rolls
Background
It’s useful to keep a bag of berries in the freezer and roll of puff pastry in the fridge because you can make quick and easy bites, treats, tarts and pies. These sour cherry and almond rolls are a good example – they are ready within half an hour, taste yummy and can be made with gluten and/or dairy-free pastry. They are perfect for afternoon tea, weekend brunch or as last minute treats for Mother’s day, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, parties and so on. If you don’t like almond, you could try poppy-seeds, which also go really well with sour cherries. This recipe is not too sweet, so add more sugar to the filling, if you have a sweet tooth. You can buy frozen sour cherries in most Polish and Eastern-European delis and in Lidl.
