with 2/3 of the reserved fruit juice as well as 1/3 cup sugar (or
less. depending on how sweet cherries are).

starch or arrowroot. As cherries come to a gentle boil, stir in
starch mixtrue. Allow to reach boil again, reduce heat, and stir
gently until mixture thickens. Let cool well before using. Then
