Cherry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 C. red tart cherries in their own juice
• 1 Tbs. cornstarch
• sugar

Directions

Pour cherry juice into medium saucepan and bring almost to a boil.  If cherry juice is unsweetened, sweeten to taste at this point.  Add desired sugar and stir until thoroughly dissolved.  While continuously stirring with wire whisk, sprinkle cornstarch into cherry sauce slowly until smoothly blended and free of lumps.  Allow to nearly return to boil and cook for one minute, stirring constantly and return whole cherries to sauce.  Remove from heat and set aside.  Serve immediately over bread or allow to cool before serving over ice cream.
