Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons corn starch/corn flour
  • 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 12 oz (340 grams) frozen cherries
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add the cherries to the sugar mixture.  Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. 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.
  4. Turn the heat off and stir in the vanilla extract and the almond extract.
