Are you ready for your life to change? Ok. Here it goes.
THE WORLD’S MOST VERSATILE CHERRY SAUCE IS HERE!
I almost feel like I’ve just brought Frankenstein to life. IT’S ALIVE! Ok no, this sauce doesn’t resemble Frankenstein in any way. It’s not creepy or mutated or scary. Just really good and really versatile.

I got inspired to make this sauce a few years ago by all of the sour cherry products and juices I’ve found in Greece. If you haven’t had sour cherry juice then you haven’t lived! So I thought to myself “ok, why not try to make these cherries into a sauce to put on Greek yogurt?” And I did! And it was delicious. BUT HOW LIMITED!!! Now I’m thinking “why can’t this sauce take over the world? Let’s put it on everything!!” And I did!

Seriously, this sauce is so good with breakfast foods like Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and fruit…. And also so yummy on cake! I’m personally not a huge fan of chocolate cake with fruit, but if you are you should definitely try this combo. And don’t even get me started on cheesecake with cherry sauce. TO. DIE. FOR. Also, I used it to stuff sugared donuts and it rocked my world. It would be so good on butter croissants or in other delicious baked goods.

And this sauce doesn’t stop there. It goes with salty foods as well! It’s really good with pork – which may sound weird… But I figured if people like to pair pork with that weird mint jelly (in my opinion: ew) then why not pair it with cherry sauce? And trust me it works.

And it’s also so so so so good with brie cheese. I AM DROOLING. Brie cheese on a cracker topped with a dollop of this cherry sauce is an easy and unique appetizer. And if you’re a fan of baked brie in a puff pastry crust, spread some of this on top of the brie before wrapping it in the pastry and popping it in the oven. And eat it with baguette. HOLY MOLY MY TUMMY IS CHEERING IN EXCITEMENT.

- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tbsp. flour

- Place this in a food processor or blender until it forms a sort of paste, or just mash with a spoon
- Put the cup of water and cup of sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil
- The sugar should be entirely dissolved in the water
- Add the chopped up/pureed cherries (and juice of 2 lemons if you're using regular cherries) and stir Now add the flour and mix thoroughly
- In a few minutes the mix should start to get thick and pretty smooth
- If it doesn't get thicker add more flour little by little
- If it doesn't get smooth put it back in the blender or food processor for 10 seconds or until smooth
- Take off the heat and place in a bowl to let cool
