Ingredients

• 3 cups (1½ lbs) pitted sour cherries
• 1 cup (8 oz) sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 heaped teaspoons corn starch (water to mix)

Directions

• Place the cherries, sugar and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat.
• Stir to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, mix the corn starch in a small bowl with just enough water to form a smooth mixture, then add to the cherries and mix well. Add the mixture before the cherries come to a boil, or it will be lumpy.
• Continue to stir the cherries and sauce, just until it comes to a boil and is slightly thickened and glossy. Remove from heat. Use as desired.
