Cherry sauce

Ingredients

500g (1.1 lbs) pitted cherries, fresh or frozen
100g (3.5 oz) sugar
1 tbsp chopped thyme
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp butter

Directions

Combine the cherries, sugar, chopped thyme, red wine vinegar, and butter in a pot. Cook over medium heat for 40-45 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
After cooking, turn off the heat and gently mash the cherries to release their juices and enhance the sauce's texture.
Transfer the sauce into a sterilised jar. Allow it to cool before storing in the refrigerator. The sauce should keep well for up to 2 weeks.
