Cooking steps

1. Thaw the cherries and pour half of the juice into a glass.

   Required ingredients:

   • Frozen cherries: 200 g

2. Add sugar to the cherries and place the pot on low heat, stirring constantly until it boils.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 4 tablespoons

3. Dissolve the starch in the juice and pour it over the cherries, stirring until thickened, then remove from heat. Keep warm until serving.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cornstarch: 1 teaspoon

4. In a bowl, mash the cottage cheese well with a fork, add flour, sugar, nutmeg, and mix.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cottage cheese: 180 g
   • Wheat flour: 3 tablespoons
   • Sugar: 4 tablespoons
   • Nutmeg:  pinch

5. Add the egg and continue mixing with a fork, gathering the mass into a ball.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 1 piece

6. Depending on the consistency, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of sour cream.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sour cream 20%: 2 tablespoons

7. The cottage cheese mass should be soft but hold its shape.

8. In a small pot, bring water to a boil and add salt.

9. Use a dessert spoon to take the cottage cheese dough and, pressing the spoon against the bowl's wall, quickly form oval dumplings.

10. Immediately drop them into boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes.

11. It's more convenient to boil 5-6 pieces at a time, not all at once, to prevent the dumplings from sticking.

12. Scoop onto plates with a slotted spoon and serve with cherry sauce.
