Instructions
Instructions for the Fresh Cherry Lime Sauce:
In a small bowl combine the cornstarch and 2 tablespoon of the water. Whisk to combine.
In a small saucepan over Medium-Low heat, combine the cherries, 4 tablespoons of the water and the sugar. Stir until combined and sugar dissolves; about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the cherry mixture; stir to combine. Place back onto low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens (5-10 minutes).
Remove from heat and add the fresh lime juice. Stir to fully combine. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving. NOTE: the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Sauce may be made the day prior.
