Incredibly easy & delicious! As recommended by other reviewers, I added 1/2 tsp of almond extract & used cherry juice in place of the water. -
I have a sweet black cherry tree. Found this recipe last year as i wanted to make my own cherry comstock. Absolutely perfect. Came back to this recipe this year to make lots and lots, some today, some for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you for this recipe. Note to self, 250 g=1 cup -
This is a very nice sub for the expensive cherry pie filling at the grocery store. I used two cans of pitted cherries and instead of the water used the juice from the cherries. Liked the idea Chef #1336878 had and also added some almond extract. Easy to make and saved money, will definitely make again! Made and reviewed for the Aussie Recipe Swap #33. -
This was good and so easy! The only addition I made was 1/2 a teaspoon of almond extract. Yummy! -
This was really good! Went to buy cherries for my son's Birthday Cheesecake and when I saw the price - I decided we should use the cherries from our tree. Boy it was easy and tastes so great! I also used frozen cherries..... plus it has more cherries than sauce....

I used this to fill recipe #193100. I used frozen cherries that we had picked last year. I used instant tapioca instead of the cornstarch b/c I like the flavor better. Cooked up quick and easy.
