Lynn's Cherry Vanilla Sauce image

This sauce is from Lynn Crawford's recipe posted on FoodNetwork.ca to go on top of goat cheese ice cream. It seems very similar to a sauce I had at her restaurant Ruby Watchco poured over Niagara Gold Cheddar and had wanted to replicate the combo. This does the trick -- one of my favourite sauces!
