KITCHEN PRACTICE 2 — A Full Hideg Gyümölcsleves
==================================================
Chapter: Hungarian Cookery 9 — Fisherman's Soup & Cold Fruit Soup

TASK
----
Make a full hideg gyümölcsleves — sour cherries simmered briefly,
lightly thickened with a sour-cream-and-flour mixture, chilled
thoroughly, and served cold with a dollop of sour cream.

WHAT TO DO
----------
1. Pit a portion of sour cherries and simmer them with water, sugar,
   and a cinnamon stick, just until the fruit softens — a short
   simmer.
2. Remove the cinnamon stick.
3. Whisk a small amount of sour cream with a little flour until
   smooth, then stir it into the pot off the heat, mixing gently
   until combined.
4. Let the soup cool, then refrigerate it, covered, for several
   hours or overnight, until fully cold.
5. Serve chilled, with an extra dollop of sour cream on top.

WHAT TO EXPECT
--------------
- The soup should taste genuinely both sweet and tart at once, with
  the sour cherries' own real acidity balancing the added sugar.
- The texture should be lightly thickened — noticeably more body
  than plain fruit juice, but still a real, spoonable soup.
- Served cold, it should feel refreshing rather than heavy, distinct
  from every hot dish covered so far in this course.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
----------------------------
This exercise runs the chapter's own second, genuinely different
dish end to end for the first time — a real, tasted introduction to
Hungarian cuisine's own sweet-and-sour streak, well outside the
paprika-and-meat family this course has focused on so far.
