Wanting to use up some fresh cherries we had, I made this homemade basic cherry filling which I used in some low carb cherry filled cinnamon rolls. The filling works for anything you need a cherry filling for.
12-16 oz. fresh (or frozen) cherries
1/4 sugar or sweetener
3 T corn starch
1/2 c water
1/4 c wine or diet cola or even just more water
1/4 t cinnamon
If using fresh cherries, pit them. In a saucepan place all the other ingredients and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the cherries. Cook and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for about 7-8 minutes to thicken the sauce. Use however you wish.
If you have to pit your own fresh cherries this might be helpful; some related products available through Amazon;
This is one I bought from Amazon myself and a couple other options if you decide this isn't the style you care for.
MSC International Joie Blossom Cherry Pitter, 4"
There are a number of other styles! I went for 'affordability' when I ordered mine as last second impulse buy on an order I was placing anyway. But I may invest in another one in the future (because I have 2 daughters and a son that will be VERY happy to take any of 'extras' off my hands!)
