Ingredients
- 4 cups red cherries pitted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Place your pitted cherries into a large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring often. (You want the cherries to simmer and release all their juices.)
- In a separate bowl, add the sugar and cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the sugar mixture into the hot cherries and stir to combine.
- Bring to a low simmer, and cook for about 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Notes
*If your cherries turn out too sweet, add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
