Spiced Cherry Sauce

"Here's a version of a recipe my mom used to make! Over the years I've cut back on the amount of spices but still enjoy the combination, whether over ice cream, pound cake, fruitcake, pancakes and even some meats! At times I've even jazzed it up a little with a bit of cherry flavoring, if you know what I mean!"

  1. We LOVED this. Made recipe as posted, except left out the salt. Used it on pancakes this morning, and vanilla ice cream, at night. Great variation of spices here, that enhanced the taste even more. Made for PRMR tag.
     
  2. AWESOME! I only used a pinch of the allspice and cloves, used the cinnamon, and added a cinnamon stick for extra flavor. This is great! Next time I'll add some amaretto. mmmmm...... Made for PRMR. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. I love tart cherries, so this was pretty much a sure thing for me. I love the addition of spices, and I also added a bit of kirschwasser. I simmered it for a bit longer than written to thicken it up a bit. Fabulous on vanilla ice cream! Thanks for posting!
