Fresh Cherry Sauce Recipe | Add a Pinch
Description
The recipe begins by combining pitted cherries with water, butter, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Heating to a boil dissolves the sugar and activates the cornstarch, thickening the mixture as the cherries soften. A few minutes of simmering after boiling ensures the sauce achieves a smooth consistency. The butter adds richness and a shiny surface, while the gentle cooking preserves the cherry's fresh flavor and some texture.
This cherry sauce can be served warm immediately or stored in an airtight container to be reheated before use. It pairs well with ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or can be spooned over cakes and other desserts that benefit from a fruity accent.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry pitted
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons butter
