cold cherry soup?

[cellio]

I'm looking for a recipe for cold cherry soup that isn't thin and doesn't use cornstarch for thickening. Either that, or advice on getting cornstarch not to make lumps. Any favorites?

No-lump cornstarch (we call it "cornflour"): Use cold tap water, not fridge cold water. Add cornstarch. Stir using a mini-whisk or similar, not a fork. Let sit for a minute or so. Pour off the top section leaving a small amount of sludgey stuff at the bottom. Rinse, lather, repeat.

We don't bother with a whisk or a fork. You can mix your cornstarch and water in a jar with a lid, by shaking it vigorously for a minute or more.

That was special. Out of curiosity, did your email notification contain the text of that now-empty comment?

My mother swears by this method. :-)
