Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Add the cherries to a baking dish, where they fit in a single layer, and drizzle over the honey, orange juice and kirsch, if using. Add half the orange zest, toss to coat, then nestle in the thyme sprigs. Roast for 45 mins, stirring every 15 mins or until the cherries have softened and the juices thickened. Leave to cool completely.
Whip the cream to stiff peaks in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the mascarpone and icing sugar until thick. Serve the roasted cherries and their juices with the mascarpone cream and topped with the remaining orange zest. Delicious served with pancakes.

Tip: The roasted cherries can be made up to 4 days ahead: store in an airtight container in the fridge.
