We look forward to making this cherry compote every summer with fresh tart cherries. It tastes sweet and tangy at the same time! Delicious on vanilla bean gelato, cheesecake, pancakes, Greek yogurt, and more!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 ½ cups pitted tart cherries
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Bring 3/4 cup water, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cherries; bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cherries soften, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mix 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; pour over the cherry mixture in the saucepan. Stir until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a container and refrigerate.
Tips
Use 2/3 cup white sugar for a sweeter compote.
