Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup cranberry juice cocktail or other berry juice drink

  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups pitted sweet cherries (fresh or 1 pound frozen, thawed), quartered
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste

Cooking Instructions

Whisk sugar and cornstarch in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Add juice, brandy and cinnamon; whisk until well blended. Stir in cherries. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Substitution Tip: If you prefer to skip the brandy, add 2 extra tablespoons juice.
