Description

You can try several variations of this, like using blueberries instead of cherries. Serve warm with ice cream.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup white sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. 2. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large saucepan; stir in water until mixture is smooth. Add cherries and butter to sugar mixture and bring to a boil; cook and stir until cherry mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour cherry filling into the prepared baking dish.
  3. 3. Mix flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour mixture until topping is just moistened. Drop topping by spoonfuls over cherry filling; sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over topping.
  4. 4. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
