What each ingredient does
- Morello cherries
- Provide the fruit, its tart flavor, and the juice that forms the sauce.
- Powdered sugar
- Sweetens the cherries and draws out their juice during the resting time.
The step that matters
Simmer on low heat. Low, gentle heat softens the cherries and dissolves the sugar into their juice without breaking the fruit apart or scorching the syrup. Higher heat can toughen the skins and burn the sugar.
