ALMOND CHERRY SAUCE

Provided by JelsMom

Categories     Sauces

Time 2m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherry
1/4-1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Pour over your favorite dessert!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cherries: Fresh, ripe cherries are best for this sauce. Avoid cherries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Pit the cherries: Use a cherry pitter to remove the pits from the cherries. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a knife to cut around the pit and then pop it out.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The quality of the balsamic vinegar you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Reduce the sauce until it is thick and syrupy: This will help to concentrate the flavors of the sauce. You can reduce the sauce by simmering it over low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Almond cherry sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for grilled chicken, pork, or fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for fruit or crackers. No matter how you use it, you are sure to enjoy this delicious sauce.
