Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rainier cherries, pitted and halved
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until fully dissolved. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted Rainier cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the cherries become soft and release their juices.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. Serve warm or at room temperature over your favorite desserts.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving if desired.
