Instructions

Place the cherries, sugar and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat.
Stir to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, mix the corn starch in a small bowl with just enough water to form a smooth mixture, then add to the cherries and mix well. Add the mixture before the cherries come to a boil, or it will be lumpy.
Continue to stir the cherries and sauce, just until it comes to a boil and is slightly thickened and glossy. Remove from heat. Use as desired.

Notes

Perfect for pies, crumbles, crisps, and cobblers; amazing topping for cheesecake, blintzes, pancakes, or ice-cream; a delicious filling for crepes, turnovers, and in Black Forest Cake-the list goes on and on.
