Best 6 Sour Cherry Sauce Recipes

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SOUR CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan boil the vinegar with the sugar over moderate heat until the mixture is reduced to a glaze. Add the wine, the shallot, and the cinnamon stick and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add the broth and the cherries and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Stir the cornstarch mixture, add enough of it to the sauce, stirring, to thicken the sauce to the desired consistency, and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick, stir in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste, and keep the sauce warm, covered.
• Pat the chops dry with paper towels, rub both sides of each chop with the oil, and season the chops with salt and pepper. Grill the chops on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they are just cooked through. Transfer the pork chops to a platter and spoon the sauce over them.

MEDALLIONS OF PORK WITH SOUR CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1/4-inch slices. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound thin with a mallet or the side of a cleaver.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cherries with 1/3 cup of port. Bring to a simmer, then turn off heat. Let cherries soak until you need them.
• In a medium saute pan (not nonstick) over medium-high heat, cook butter with olive oil until light brown. Cook pork in 2 batches, allowing to brown well around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm plate, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Do not allow pan drippings to burn.
• Remove pan from heat. Add vinegar, scraping pan with a wooden spoon. Return to heat, and add remaining 2/3 cup wine. Boil over high heat until thick, about 1 minute. Combine with cherries, and spoon over meat. Serve immediately.

SOUR-CHERRY SAUCE

Place the cornstarch in a small bowl and stir in the water until smooth. Add to the sauce and cook until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes longer. Strain. Serve over vanilla ice cream, poundcake or poached pears.

INTENSE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM WITH SOUR BALSAMIC-CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For Ice Cream:.
• Melt the 2 oz.
• chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat.
• To the melted chips, add the heavy cream, buttermilk, honey and cocoa, stirring well to incorporate (the cocoa may not fully incorporate until mixture is more warmed).
• The melted chocolate may"seize" (or clump up), but as the other ingredients heat, the chocolate will melt.
• Increase heat to medium, and bring mixture to almost boiling, stirring frequently.
• This may take 6-10 minutes or more.
• You may notice small flecks of cocoa in the hot mixture; this is ok.
• Turn heat down to low.
• While the cream mixture is warming, with a hand mixer, cream together the egg yolks and sugar until lighter in colour, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
• This will be a very thick, almost dry looking mixture.
• Take about 1/4 cup of the hot cream mixture, and add to the egg mixture.
• Mix until combined.
• Slowly add the slightly warmed egg mixture into the cream mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the egg from being cooked too quickly.
• Cook over low heat until slightly thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 3 or 4 minutes.
• Mixture will still be liquid in appearance.
• Chill this custard completely, either in the fridge overnight, or over an ice bath for about 30 minutes.
• Make sure custard is cool.
• Freeze in an ice-cream machine as recommended by your owner's manual.
• (N. B. In my Cuisinart Ice cream machine, it to about 35- 38 minutes before ice crystals started to show. This is longer than recommended. Even then, it was still very thin.).
• Put the soft ice cream in a container in the freezer.
• For the first couple of hours, stir every hour to make sure the ice crystals are being distributed.
• Freeze at least six hours or overnight.
• This ice cream has a softer texture than some other home-made ice creams.
• For the Sauce.
• In a small saucepan, combine the honey and the 1/2 cup water.
• Warm this mixture over medium heat until honey is dissolved.
• Add the cherries.
• Simmer for about 3 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low.
• Add the almond flavouring and the balsamic vinegar.
• Simmer for about 1 minute.
• Mix together the cornstarch and the 3 teaspoons cold water together in a small dish/glass.
• Stir into cherry mixture.
• Simmer about 3-5 minute, or until slightly thickened.
• (This is a thin sauce, you may thicken it up with more cornstarch/water slurry if you want) Serve over chocolate ice cream either warm or chilled.

PORK CORNETS WITH SOUR-CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Very finely grind fennel seeds, salt, and peppercorns in grinder, then rub all over pork.
• Toss shallots with oil in a 13- by 9-inch flameproof roasting pan, then nestle tenderloins among shallots (without crowding) and roast until thermometer inserted into thickest end of pork registers 155°F, about 30 to 35 minutes. Put 2 layers of foil on a work surface and transfer pork to foil. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour, then wrap in foil and chill until cold, about 2 hours.
• While pork cools, put roasting pan with shallots over a burner, then add wine and deglaze pan by boiling, stirring and scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a 2- to 2 1/2-quart heavy saucepan. Add cherries, sugar, and rosemary and boil until liquid is reduced to about 2 cups, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard rosemary sprigs (do not discard any leaves that have fallen off stems). Transfer mixture to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and chill, uncovered, until cold, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Cut chilled pork with a carving knife or an electric meat slicer diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Roll up each slice into a cornet (cone) shape and pierce in center with a rosemary sprig to secure. Fill opening of each cornet with about 1/2 teaspoon cherry sauce. Discard rosemary sprigs when eating.
