Step 1

Add water, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a small pot. Whisk until no cornstarch lumps remain.

Step 2

Place pot over medium heat and whisk mixture continuously until it starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add frozen cherries and stir. When mixture starts to bubble, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally so the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened and looks glossy.

Step 4

After the time has passed, remove the pot from the stove and allow the sauce to cool completely in the pot.

Step 5

Once cooled, place the cherry sauce in a jar, cover, and refrigerate.
