Preparation

Step 1
Warm the wine in a small saucepan. Add the cherries and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain the cherries and spread them on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Place half the cherries in each of two large-stemmed goblets. Sprinkle with half the brown sugar.
Step 3
If using fromage blanc, beat it lightly to smooth it. With the cottage cheese, puree it in a blender or force it through a sieve to smooth it. Mix either cheese with the yogurt. Spoon the cheese mixture over the sugared cherries in the goblets, then add the remaining cherries and sprinkle with the rest of the brown sugar on top. Serve at once.
