Fresh Cherry Wine Sauce with Ice Cream
A recipe for Fresh Cherry Wine Sauce with Ice Cream. It’s also great served over pancakes, yogurt, French toast, and more.
Still warm from the stove, this Cherry Wine Sauce is amazing drizzled over a bowl of creamy ice cream. Or, try it on yogurt, pancakes, French toast, perhaps even some pound cake!
I thought I was done for the day. I certainly felt like I was done for the week. And it was only Monday.
After several days of nonstop cooking, the kitchen sink was piled high, the counters were a battlefield, and the tables full of plates and cutting boards, and bowls of fruit. The dishwasher was struggling to keep up. But I had to dirty just one more dish. Okay, maybe just a couple more. I had one more thing to do.
The fresh cherries (here’s how to quickly pit cherries without a cherry pitter) were calling to me. They’re leaving soon, you see, and I somehow feel like we haven’t spent enough time together this summer.
Fresh Cherry Wine Sauce
A little bit of wine, and a splash of balsamic – it didn’t take much to coax a seriously amazing Fresh Cherry Wine Sauce to drizzle over my bowl of ice cream. Warm and dark, deep in flavor, each spoonful gave me pause. I sat down. I indulged in each bite. I sighed. It was the best 10 minutes of my day.
