Cherry Sauce for Meat (Canned for Winter)

A zesty, unexpected sauce for meat—great for holidays and everyday meals alike! I always put up a batch of cherry sauce for the winter. My family and I love it because it's unusual and has a little kick. It gives meat dishes a whole new flavor and never fails to impress guests. Makes about 1 quart (1 liter) of sauce.

  • Put the cherries in a pot and cover them with the sugar. Leave them overnight. If the cherries aren't very juicy and don't release much liquid overnight, add 1/2 cup of water. Set the pot over medium heat and bring it to a boil, stirring. Cook the cherries for 20 minutes, then drain them in a colander, letting all the syrup run off. Now press the cherries through the colander into a separate bowl, and stir a spoonful of vegetable oil, the ground pepper blend, cloves, and any other favorite spices (the spicier the better) into the resulting cherry purée. Return the pot of cherry purée and spices to the stove and bring it back to a boil. While the purée heats up, stir the starch into the syrup—and here's the key: the syrup must be completely cool first. For a thinner sauce, use 1 spoonful of starch; I like a thick sauce, so I use two. Once the purée comes to a boil, add the vinegar and stir. Now gradually pour in the syrup with the dissolved starch, then boil the sauce for another 2–3 minutes. Ladle the finished sauce into small jars and seal them tightly. Store the cherry sauce in a cool place so it keeps through winter.
