Ingredients

4 cups pitted cherries

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

3 to 4 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind

3/4 teaspoon almond extract

Optional: 1/2 cup blanched, slivered almonds

Toppings: whipped cream or whipped ricotta cheese or plain yogurt with a few blanched almonds folded in

Directions

1) Place cherries in a heavy medium-sized saucepan, and cook over medium heat, covered, for 10 minutes.
