CHERRY SEASON WILL SOON BE HERE

This Bing Cherry Topping recipe could fit in with cherry season that will be arriving soon. Designed to serve four, count the guests, start multiplying and head out to the cherry tree. Here is a recipe designed to serve four guests. One Tbsp cornstarch; ¼ cup apple juice; 2 Tbsp honey; ½ tsp vanilla extract; 3 1/2 cups Bing cherries, stemmed and pitted; l/4 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/8 tsp ground cardamom; (optional). 1. Whisk cornstarch with apple juice, until cornstarch dissolves. Whisk in honey and vanilla extract. Stir in cherries, cinnamon and cardamom (if using). 2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and turns transparent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve warm. Note: Sauce can be refrigerated in covered container for up to three days. Reheat gently in microwave, or in saucepan before serving. It can be served over pancakes, waffles, or fat-free frozen yogurt. This is a suggestion from “The Doctors Book of Healing Foods” and said to help prevent or treat Asthma, Blood sugar, Cancer tumours, Cholesterol, Constipation, Gas, Gout, Hay fever, Lung cancer, and Ulcers.
