1 - 1-by-3-inch strip orange zest |
2 - pounds sweet cherries, halved and pitted |

1. In a medium stainless-steel saucepan, combine the wine, sugar, and orange zest. .............

3. Add the cherries and bring back to a simmer. .............
4. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the cherries are just tender, about 5 minutes. ...............
5. Pour into a glass or stainless-steel bowl so the cherries don t overcook........................
6. In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone with the honey. ...........
7. Remove the strip of orange zest from the cherries...................
