Easy Sour Cherry Sauce

sour cherries

sugar

lemon juice (fresh)

tsp pure vanilla extract

salt

cornstarch

water (to make a slurry)

Add pitted cherries to large saucepan.

Stir in sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and pinch of salt.

Taste and add more sugar if you like sauce a bit sweeter.&nbsp;

In small bowl combine together cornstarch and water.

While constantly stirring add cornstarch slurry to cherries and cook for additional 3-4 minutes until sauce starts to thicken.

This quick and easy homemade Cherry Sauce is loaded with sweet juicy cherries. We love this cherry topping on cheesecake, waffles, ice cream, and cakes!

Easy Cherry Sauce

sweet cherries ((fresh or frozen), pitted*)

water

lemon juice

Tbsp sugar

In a medium saucepan (off the heat), add water (use 1/3 cup for fresh cherries and 1/4 cup water for frozen cherries). Whisk in 1 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp sugar.

Place over medium heat and whisk constantly until the mixture starts to thicken.

Add cherries and cook stirring occasionally until sauce is at a light boil (about 6-10 minutes for fresh cherries and 12-15 minutes for frozen). The sauce should be thickened and uniformly bubbling, not just at the edges, then remove from heat.

Cool to room temperature then cover and store in the refrigerator in a glass mason jar or Tupperware container until ready to use. It will thicken more as it stands.

This easy cherry sauce is sweet, tart, and perfect for topping a cheesecake, chocolate cake, and other desserts! Use any type of cherries, fresh or frozen, for this easy cherry topping!

Cherry Sauce

cherries

Tablespoons sugar (start with less and adjust)

lemon juice (freshly squeeze)

Cornstarch slurry

Cornstarch slurry: In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water. Set aside.

Cook cherries

Cook cherries: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch slurry. Bring to a boil, stirring to avoid burning.

Taste

Taste: Once the sauce thickens up, reduce the heat and taste. Adjust with more lemon juice or sugar as needed. Sour cherries may need more sugar and sweet cherries may need more lemon juice. If needed, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches the right consistency. Note: sauce thickens after it cools.

Serve

Serve: Wait for the sauce to reach room temperature before topping cold desserts like cheesecake and ice cream, or serve it warm over pancakes,  cakes, and waffles. See Note 1 for storing.

These Pork Chops with Cherry Sauce are so delicious! This amazing dinner will be on your table in just 30 minutes.

Pork Chops with Cherry Sauce

olive oil

shallot (finely chopped)

tart cherries (pitted and halved)

dry red wine

balsamic vinegar

Kosher Salt

pork loin chops (1--thick)

coriander

mustard

black pepper

Heat the oven to 400°F.

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Place the salt, coriander, mustard, and pepper in a small bowl and mix until evenly combined. Rub all of the spice mixture all over the pork chops, set aside.

Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt.

Stir in the cherries, red wine, and vinegar. Cook until the cherries soften and the wine has reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

While the sauce reduces, begin cooking the pork chops. Heat oil in a large, cast-iron or oven-safe frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chops and cook, undisturbed, until the bottoms are golden brown, about 4 minutes.

Flip over and place the frying pan in the oven. Bake until the chops are golden brown on the second side and the juices run clear, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Spoon the cherry sauce over the chops and serve.

This fresh cherry sauce, also known as cherry compote, is quick and easy and perfect for topping everything from cheesecake to waffles to ice cream.

Fresh Cherry Sauce (Cherry Compote)

550 g fresh cherries, pitted ((1.2 pounds))

white granulated sugar

lemon juice ((note 1))

cornflour (cornstarch)

In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, water, lemon juice and sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn the heat down so the mixture is just simmering.

Simmer stirring every so often for about 10 minutes until the cherries have softened and the liquid has tripled.

Use a spoon to skim off froth as it's cooking.

Make a slurry using the cornflour and 3 teaspoons of water. Slowly dribble the slurry into the cherries while stirring constantly so that it doesn’t turn lumpy. Do this slowly and stop when you&#039;re happy with the thickness. It will thicken a little more on cooling.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

These no-bake mini cheesecakes have a buttery graham cracker crust and irresistibly creamy filling. Add my homemade cherry sauce for sweet perfection in every bite.

No Bake Mini Cheesecakes Recipe (VIDEO)

graham cracker crumbs (12 whole crackers)

Tbsp unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)

oz cream cheese ((2) 8-oz blocks, room temperature)

sour cream

Tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

heavy whipping cream

Cherry Topping

Line your muffin tin with paper liners. If you don’t have a spare muffin tin to make 14 total, you can put the extra 2 into ramekins.

In a medium bowl, stir together graham crackers and sugar then add melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened. Divide the crumbs between your paper liners (about 2 Tablespoons in each). Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of the liners to form the crust.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium/high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy and completely smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.  Add sour cream and lemon juice and beat for another minute until well incorporated.

Wash the mixer attachments and then in a second large mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until whipped and stiff peaks form.

Using a spatula fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, scraping from the bottom of the bowl as you mix.  Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly between your cupcake liners (a trigger-release ice cream scoop makes this easy!). Even out the tops with the back of a spoon. The cream cheese should be about level with the tops of the cupcake liners.

Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 6 hours or overnight (set a reminder to cover with plastic wrap after a couple of hours in the refrigerator).

Make the Cherry Sauce and set it aside to cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve the cheesecakes.

To serve, remove the wrappers from the mini cheesecakes (the cheesecakes soften as they stand so it’s easier to remove the wrappers right away). Spoon cooled cherry sauce over the mini cheesecakes and enjoy!

Made this recipe with strawberries and Blue Berries on top for 4th of July party.  I put them in a red/white/blue cups.  They were a big hit.  Everyone loved them.
