Instructions
-
If using fresh cherries, wash, stem, and pit them.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, and water, initially using half the water for frozen cherries; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often.
-
In a small bowl, thoroughly mix lemon juice and cornstarch.
-
Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling cherry mixture.
-
If using frozen cherries, add one tablespoon of water at a time if the sauce is too thick.
-
Return the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for about one minute until thickened.
-
Remove from heat, adjust sugar or lemon juice to taste, and allow the sauce to cool completely before use.
