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.
