Cherry Spoon Sweet with Yougurt

Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 oz) package unsweetened bing cherries
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp granular sugar substitute
  • 24 oz. plain fat-free or low-fat yogurt
Makes 4 Servings
  1. Bring cherries, lemon zest, and sugar substitute to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cherries have softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  2. Divide yogurt among 4 serving dishes. Top each serving with 1/4 cup of the cherries and serve.
WW POINTS VALUE: 4 pts.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. Although this recipe is in the dessert section, you can have this dish for breakfast, as a light lunch or as a snack. The recipe calls for lemon zest but I highly recommend using lime zest because it will taste like a healthy version of cherry limeade. This is a nice treat that is light and you won't feel guilty eating this dish. The leftover spoon sweet can be refrigerated up to 10 days and you can even use this as an alternative to jam/jelly as a spread for toast.
