Sour Cherry Sauce Recipe
- 1 cup drained bottled pitted sour cherries plus 1/2 cup of their syrup
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 drop almond extract
- Pour syrup into a 1-quart heavy saucepan, setting aside cherries. Whisk sugar, wine, and cornstarch into cherry syrup until smooth, then bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly, and boil until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, then stir in almond extract and cherries and cool.
