Chicken With Cherries

Years ago my father had an American penfriend who gave us this recipe. Both men are gone now but the recipe remains a favourite.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 8  good sized chicken pieces
• 10  ounces tomato ketchup
• 1⁄2-1  cup brown sugar (I use the lesser amount)
• 1 (16 ounce) can sweet cherries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Place chicken pieces in a medium casserole.
2. Mix sauce, brown sugar and juice from the cherries until smooth. Pour over chicken.
3. Cover and bake for about 1 hour or until tender. Tip cherries over top about 1/2 hour before chicken is ready.
4. Thicken with cornflour and serve over rice.
