How to Make Red Berry Dessert Sauce

  1. Combine 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries, 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 cinnamon sticks in a medium saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the cherries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully remove the cinnamon sticks.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup brandy (optional) and 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries.
  6. Serve the warm sauce immediately over your favorite dessert, such as vanilla ice cream, pound cake, or even pancakes. Alternatively, allow it to cool to room temperature before serving.
