Roasted Cherries
Simple to prepare, these roasted cherries in syrup make a delicious condiment for topping breakfast bowls or desserts.
Servings 1 pint jar
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen cherries
- 1/3 cup cane sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Tumble cherries onto the prepared pan. Leave to defrost for a few minutes while the oven preheats.
- Sprinkle cherries with sugar and almond extract. Stir to coat the cherries.
- Place on the middle rack of the oven. Roast for 40 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through the baking time. Cherries will darken, juices will run and create a syrupy-sauce
- Remove from oven and cool slightly. Transfer into a jar while still warm, before the juices have a change to congeal. I like to use a firm spatula or bench scraper to get all of the cherry sauce off the pan.
- Serve once cooled or cover and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
