Ingredients
- 150 g Cherries, sour

- 15 g Potato starch

Method
- Rinse the sour cherries and pit them if fresh, then put them in a saucepan with the water and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 5 minutes until the cherries soften and the water turns deep red, then stir in the sugar until dissolved.
- Strain the liquid into a clean pan, keeping the cooked cherries aside, and return the liquid to a gentle simmer.
