Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1-pound bag frozen unsweetened pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed, drained, juices reserved
1/4 cup kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
1/4 cup (about) dry red wine
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 pints vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Pour juices from cherries into glass cup. Add kirsch. Add enough red wine to measure 1 cup. Stir 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in heavy small saucepan until no lumps remain. Gradually whisk in wine mixture, then cherries. Cook over medium-high heat until sauce boils, thickens and is translucent, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in almond extract. (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
  • Divide vanilla ice cream among bowls. Spoon warm sauce over and serve immediately.
