Cherry Fritters

Roughly dice the washed and pitted cherries, set aside in a bowl for later.
Place the milk, vanilla, egg, butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a high speed blender or food processor.
Blend until a smooth batter has formed. Scrape down the sides several times to ensure all of the batter ingredients have combined.
Transfer the batter to a bowl and stir through the diced cherries.
Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium heat. (Test the temperature of the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil, if it starts to bubble immediately then it is ready).
Using a metal spoon, drop tablespoon amounts of batter into the oil. Add as many as you can fit without overcrowding the pot.
Allow the fritters to cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden brown, gently turn and continue to cook until golden.
Remove and drain on kitchen paper towel.
Repeat with remaining batter. Batter makes approx 12-14 fritters.
Allow to cool completely.
Prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla together in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding some water if needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the fritters and allow the glaze to set before serving and enjoying.
