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.

Use 2/3 cup white sugar for a sweeter compote.
