Sour cherry sauce

Ethan Patterson

Report

Sour cherry sauce uses pitted sour cherries cooked with juice or water, sugar, and cornstarch to create a slightly thick, glossy sauce. This simple condiment can be made with fresh, canned, or jarred cherries, offering a balance of tart and sweet flavors with a smooth texture suitable for desserts or toppings.

Description

This sauce starts by whisking together sour cherry juice or water, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cooking over moderate heat brings it to a gentle boil, thickening the mixture in about a minute. Fresh, canned, or jarred pitted cherries are stirred in off the heat to preserve their texture and freshness within the sauce.

The result is a vibrant bright sauce with a velvety shine, highlighting the tartness of sour cherries balanced by sweetness and thickened to a spoonable consistency. The concoction can act as a fruit sauce for ice cream, pancakes, or baked goods, adding a lively cherry note.
