Easy Cherry Sauce

This is a super simple and tasty recipe for an easy cherry sauce.
Cherry sauce is great for a cake topping (especially for chocolate cakes, like this vegan chocolate cake), ice-cream sauce or, if you are feeling daring - a lovely tangy accompaniment to pork tenderloin (for this I would remove the sugar in the below recipe).


What You'll Need:
  • Heavy-bottomed sauce pan
  • 2 cups of seedless frozen cherries
  • 1/3 cup of sugar (I used a xylitol-based sweetener instead)
  • 2/3 cup water and 1/4 cup of water
  • 2 Tbps cornstarch
  • 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
What You'll Do:
  • Ensure your cherries are pitted
  • Place your thawed berries into your saucepan
  • Pour in 2/3 cups of water
  • Stir until boiling
  • In a small measuring cup, pour in your 1/4 cup of water and stir in your cornstarch
  • Pour your cornstarch and water mixture into the boiling cherries
  • Stir rapidly as the sauce will thicken instantly
  • Pour in your lemon juice
  • Reduce the heat and stir for another 2-3 minutes or until desired thickness is achieved
  • Let cool
  • Easy as that

The STEWART SCORE
Appearance: 1 - it looks like a crime scene
Taste: 2
Ease: 2
