Thaw the cherries and pour half of the juice into a glass.
- Frozen cherries: 200 g
2
Add sugar to the cherries and place the pot on low heat, stirring constantly until it boils.
- 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.
- Cornstarch: 1 teaspoon

In a bowl, mash the cottage cheese well with a fork, add flour, sugar, nutmeg, and mix.
- Curd cheese (tvorog): 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.
- Chicken egg: 1 piece
6
Depending on the consistency, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
- Sour cream 20% fat: 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.

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