Recipe #296398 | 35 min | 20 min prep | 1 1/2 cups sauce (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Celticevergreen

The wine-like flavor of cherry in a spicy sauce. Traditionally served with Dampfnudeln or Steamed Sweet Dumplings. Could go over any bread like dessert or cooled down as a jam. Recipe dates from the mid 1960's and comes from my grandmother's recipe box.
