Phosphate/Potassium: This recipe contains cherries which are high in potassium

but when used in the amount specified in the recipe it remains a low-potassium dish.

This dish contains a small amount of phosphate which mainly comes from the filo

pastry. If you have been prescribed a phosphate binder ensure you take them with

this dish.

Protein: This dish is low in protein and makes a suitable pudding for a special

occasion if you have been advised to follow a low-protein diet.

Carbohydrate: The main source of carbohydrates in this dish are the cherries,

sugars and filo pastry. The carbohydrate value has been provided for those who have

been trained in insulin adjustment.

Special diets: Gluten free: It is difficult to find gluten-free filo pastry and therefore

you may wish to use gluten-free puff pastry instead. Vegan: Many brands of shopbought

filo pastry are dairy-free. Use a dairy-free spread instead of butter.

Cheaper option: Vanilla extract could be used instead of the vanilla pods
