I had a dish called cherries au poivre. Cherries cooked in a green peppercorn cream sauce with Pernod. Any idea how to make it?
Cherries were still whole and not cooked down. You tasted the peppercorns but did not see them. The flavor was amazing!!!

The sweet ''sauce au Poivre'' is a very French touch of eccentricity, It really show the boundaries are very wide when it come to mixing flavours.
Also this Sauce can sometime be mistaken for Pistachio ice cream flavour but is in fact very much real savoury pepper spice.
Personally I like a hint of bitter cocoa powder or Pernod in it.
As for the recipe it is nothing more than ''Lightly'' Fried fresh peppercorn in sugar and oil topped with a Cream Anglaise sauce or double cream reduction if you run out of time
:)
If yours was a dessert sauce and not a savory one, this looks close.
Use Google translate, as needed.
