Step 1
Cook Cherries

Step 3
Cook sauces together as one
Once 20 minutes of simmering is done on pan , strain the liquid from sauce pan 2 into sauce pan 1 and discard the pits at this time.
Step 4
Minute Tapioca
Add 1 cup of minute tapioca. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes before placing in Ball freezer jars, leaving the lid off until fully cooled. Refrigerate or freeze.

This is an easy and delicious sauce recipe. Don’t worry about the brandy, the alcohol is burned off. It’s just to give a little more ‘umph’ and flavor to the sauce. Use this over ice cream. Or, cool and use as a cake filling, topping for cheesecake, mixed with yogurt or use as a jam.
