Ingredients
1tablespoonand 2 teaspoons corn starch/corn flour
1/2cupand 1 tablespoon sugar
1tablespoonand 1 teaspoon water
112 oz (340 grams)frozen cherries
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
1/2teaspoonalmond extract
Instructions
Combine the corn starch, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Whisk until smooth. Cook on low-medium heat for about 3 minutes. We want to cook out some of that starchy taste from the corn starch.
Add the cherries to the sugar mixture. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat to medium and while stirring with a wooden spoon, continue to cook for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
Turn the heat off and stir in the vanilla extract and the almond extract.
