Thanks lauriebj for this MAGNIFIC recipe. Just perfect and amazingly good. I used 1/2 of ground cherries(a very welcoming gift from a friend) and another 1/2 of bing cherries to make this sauce. The spices worked beautifuly. Thanks for sharing and I will be making again. NOTE: I will let you know when I used the result of your recipe in my next dessert or chocolate cake. Thanks.

I used this recipe for an entirely different berry, but wanted to share it so that others might adapt for thier own needs. I was making individual pineapple upside-down cakes and wanted a cherry sauce to drizzle over them. I used this recipe, substituting black cherries for the ground cherries. I also allowed it to reduced down to a beautiful thick sauce. The black cherries I used were run through the food processor to a nice small chunked size. It was a beautiful presentation and the spices in this recipe were the perfect compliment to the pineapple and sweetness of the cakes. Wonderful!Thank you for giving me a great start to a wonderful sauce.
