Kirschsosse (Cherry Sauce)

Submitted by Member 610488

"The wine-like flavor of cherry in a spicy sauce. Traditionally served with Dampfnudeln or Steamed Sweet Dumplings. Could go over any bread like dessert or cooled down as a jam. Recipe dates from the mid 1960's and comes from my grandmother's recipe box."
