Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh pitted cherries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar more if you like it sweeter
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp almond or vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Put the cherries, water, and sugar in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a full boil over medium high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook for a few minutes while the cherries start to release their juices.
- Stir the cornstarch together with the lemon juice and add to the pan. Continue to stir and cook until the sauce has thickened and is glossy, this will only take a minute or two. Remove from the heat and stir in the extract.
- Let the sauce cool, then put into jars or an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. You can use it cold, room temperature, or warmed up.
- Makes 1 1/2 quarts.
Notes
- If for any reason your sauce doesn't thicken up enough, add more dissolved cornstarch and heat back to a boil.
