Fresh Cherry Sauce. This recipe is ready in just a few minutes and tastes out of this world!
I’ve haven’t been able to get enough cherries lately since we left Georgia on our RV trip. I still can find peaches in nearby stores, but the cherries have just been calling my name. Of course, it could have something to do with all of the delicious desserts we’ve had in Williamsburg and then again in DC.
And since we’re in the RV, I knew just what I wanted to make to go along with the cream cheese pound cake I baked the other afternoon. This fresh cherry sauce. Oh my gosh, just the thought of it had my mouth watering.
This sauce is amazing with everything from yogurt in the morning, pork chops or ham for supper, and (YES!) dessert! It is delicious over ice cream and absolutely perfect with pound cake. I think it would just be great right by itself, to be honest.
If you enjoy canning, it sure would make a nice present for the holidays, too.
Okay, enough about how wonderful it is. You just need to make it for yourself and see what I mean. You’ll be singing the praises of cherry farmers all over the land. I promise.
Here’s my Fresh Cherry Sauce Recipe.

Love cherries and this looks to amazing and fresh!
Oh, Robyn! I’m a little in love with this. Well, a LOT in love. ♥
Yum! Perfect for my morning yogurt & granola!! Hope you’re having a great trip!
This looks delish! Are they sweet cherries or pie cherries? I would love to make this but finding fresh pie cherries around here is impossible. I can still get sweet cherries here.
Thanks.
I used sweet cherries, Suzanne. I hope you are able to find them and make this soon. I can’t wait to make a little more and can it for this winter.
Oh…I want this on ice cream!!
I just can’t get enough of fresh cherries. We’re heading up to visit my parents in British Columbia this week and I can’t wait to get my hands on some of the fresh B.C. cherries. This beautiful sauce needs to be on the “must make” list!
Can you freeze this sauce?
Leslie, I have not tried to freeze this sauce but sauces made with corn starch usually do not freeze well.
After buying POUNDS of cherries all thru late May-June, I said I was done for the year. Then, yesterday, I bought another 2 pounds! I’m addicted like you! 🙂
This is beautiful. The perfect excuse to make a pound cake!
What a delicious sauce – so versatile!
Looks perfect. And with pound cake? YUM.
