Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet cherries ((fresh or frozen), pitted* )
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup water
- 1 Tbsp corn starch
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Steps
-
In a medium saucepan (off the heat), add water (use 1/3 cup for fresh cherries and 1/4 cup water for frozen cherries). Whisk in 1 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp sugar.
-
Place over medium heat and whisk constantly until the mixture starts to thicken.
-
Add cherries and cook stirring occasionally until sauce is at a light boil (about 6-10 minutes for fresh cherries and 12-15 minutes for frozen). The sauce should be thickened and uniformly bubbling, not just at the edges, then remove from heat.
-
Cool to room temperature then cover and store in the refrigerator in a glass mason jar or Tupperware container until ready to use. It will thicken more as it stands.
