Author Notes

I've been craving homemade cherry ice cream for some time now, but as I don't have an ice cream maker, I figured a sauce was the next best thing. I also like some savory with my sweet, so I thought I'd give salt-n-pepper a try here. If I could have found kirsch in my local grocers I would have used it. Cointreau is a good substitute, maybe a tad too sweet. Sorry, I must have missed the cherry contest deadline. Still, I'm not sorry I tried this. —Teri

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups fresh pitted cherries, left whole, like little slumpy Pac-Mans
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground tellicherry black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 jigger kirsch or cointreau
  • 1 to 2 jiggers water
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring slowly to a simmer, then a steady boil.
  2. Boil 10 minutes, then turn off.
  3. Spoon (hot or cold) sauce over ice cream. (I used green tea ice cream, for the color and the flavor.)
