Dark Cherry Merlot Sauce over Yogurt

By barbie24

We love the flavor of a tangy fro-yo with this sweet dark cherry sauce with a touch of merlot, but ice cream is also nice.

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed
• 1 cup merlot
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups vanilla fat-free frozen yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

Combine cherries, merlot, brown sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil.

Lightly crush about half of cherries with a potato masher.

Reduce heat, and cook until reduced to about 1 cup. Let stand 5 minutes.

Spoon warm cherry sauce over ice cream.
