A few tips:

• Don’t use too tart or sour cherries. Try to use the darker once that also hold a lot of sweetness.
• Keep an eye on the marmalade and stir regularly not to burn it. Add more water as needed. The cooking time will vary depending on how large the cherries are.
• Using balsamic vinegar is optional, but it adds a nice sweet and tangy taste to the marmalade. I sometimes use it, sometimes skip it, depending on what Im in the mood for.
• You can vary this dish by replacing the goat cheese with for example feta cheese and the cherries with any other lovely summer fruit like peach, plums, strawberries just to mention a few.
• Use a good quality chèvre that is flavorful and creamy.
• I used greek yogurt when making my goat cheese cream, but you can also use creme fraiche.
• Adapt the amount of yogurt depending on how thick you prefer your dip sauce.
• You can whip the goat cheese cream either completely smooth or leave it half smooth depending on what you prefer.
