How to Make Cherry Sauce For Poultry

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pitted dark sweet cherries, 1/2 cup cherry juice (reserved from the can), 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground cloves.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together until the cornstarch is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  6. Serve warm over your favorite roast poultry. Enjoy!
