    Cup of Yum

  2. Remove from the heat and blend to a smooth sauce, then set aside to cool.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 1 cup or roughly 150 grams of cherry sauce.
  • You can use fresh or frozen cherries. Use a pitter to remove cherry stones.
  • For a chunkier texture skip blending the sauce before serving.
  • To prepare in advance: set it aside to cool then transfer to a sealed container and chill for up to 3 days. It will thicken slightly when chilled, so mix with a tiny bit of water before using.
  • Freeze in ice cube trays, then tun out and store the frozen cubes in labelled freezer bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in a covered container in the fridge overnight or on the counter.
  • for the summer - add some grated coconut or a little fresh orange juice for extra freshness.
  • for the winter - stir in a crushed clove, a small piece of ginger and a pinch of cinnamon for some seasonal spice.
