Cherry Dessert Topping
This simple topping is great on cake, ice cream, and desserts of all kind. It is so much better than any you might find on the shelf at a grocery store, and unlike those ones, this homemade version isn't full of unnecessary chemicals and preservatives.
I recently made this to accompany my easy no-bake cheesecake, and both were so tasty, I didn't get the chance to snap a picture before eating them right up.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups pitted cherries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- In a saucepan, stir together cherries, water, and sugar. Bring to a rolling boil on medium high heat, then reduce to simmer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir into cherry mixture.
- Add vanilla extract to cherry mixture, return to medium heat and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. Allow to cool before placing in a glass container with a top.
- Stores in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Its impressive that you use real cherries for your toppings and not canned cherries. The real thing is always better.

This sounds delicious! In Costa Rica, fresh cherries are hard to find and are waaaay too expensive, but i love everything that concerns on cherries and fresh ingredients!
Those cherries look delicious, I can almost taste them!

Sounds delish !
That's pretty simple and impressive recipe, I'll will surely try it. also I have written a post on chicken tikka recipe recently.
Keep on sharing such cool stuff!
It sounds fantastic. I remember when I first started to learn that canned pie filling and canned fruit were not the same thing at all. Who knew there was such an excessive amount of sugar in pie filling. It tastes so great, it has to be good for you right? My mom used to do something really similar to this with the strawberries we would pick from our garden each year. That first hot day when we would have strawberry shortcake for dessert was awesome.
Having a dessert is always feeling a good after having some good food and if cherry on top makes it special.
