Ingredients

  • 2 Cups of frozen sweet cherries pitted about 280g
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup - ½ cup sugar
  • ½ -1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan over medium heat add cherries, sugar and mix well. Stir constantly.
  • After about 4-5 minutes you will notice that the cherries have released their juices and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Break the cherries apart with a spatula into halves if desired.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in water and set aside.
  • Pour cornstarch mixture over and stir, keep cooking until mixture thickens.
  • Remove from heat and add almond extract.
  • Let it cool down then scoop into a jar to use.

Notes

  • I do not like super sweet cherry sauce so I think ¼ cup of sugar is fairly enough but it is subject to your liking.
  • Also adding almond extract depends on your liking and how strong the almond extract you are using is.
  • You can also flavor the sauce with any extract of choice but almond goes pretty well with cherries.
  • Storage:
    Store cherry sauce in the fridge for up to 5 days. Always use a clean dry spoon when scooping from the jar.
  • Please check the nutrition disclaimer policy.
