Answer 1

The way I make fresh cherry sauce is as follows.

2 cups pitted fresh cherries
1 cup sugar or splenda
1/4 tsp almond extract
1tbls cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water

In small sauce pan over medium heat combine water and cornstarch. Stir until smooth, add the sugar or Splenda and then the rest of the ingredients.

Cook until thickened. Cherries cook rapidly. Cool. Will keep about 3 days in the refrigerator.
Enjoy

Answer 2

Try this one!!

Fresh cherries, cut in half and pitted
[2 tbs of canola margarine (regular butter wil do it)
2 tbs Brown sugar
1 cup Plum Wine

On a suacepan, melt down the margarine, add the sugar and wait until caramel. Add the cherries and pour half of the plum wine... Stir frequently.. when alcohol of plum wine evaporates, add the second half... then, here comes the tricky part.... if you want to feel the alcohol (which i recommend) take it out from the heat, if not, wait again until acohol is evaporated. Here you can choose the level of alcohol by deciding when to pull it off.

Try it hot on top of a Vanilla or Pralines 'n crem ice cream.

Answer 3

Flambé Cognac Cherry Topping
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp cognac
2 # cherries, washed and pitted
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
juice of 2 oranges
In a sauté pan , slowly heat up the butter and sugar until golden
brown, pour in the orange juice and cook for about 3 mins. Add the
cognac and flambé: Heard of flambé? That's when you lit the mixture on
fire to burn off the alcohol (always do this with caution, and never
let a child near it. Beware of gas stoves with high flames, do it on
low flame). Mix in the cherries and cook (1 min). Mix cornstarch
with water and slowly add to the sauce and cook until thicken. Pour
over ice-cream. (if you don't want to flambé, just add only half the
amount of alcohol or separately slowly cook off the alcohol in a sauce
pan).
