This gluten-free Cherry Ginger Cinnamon Glaze is a delightful addition to your favorite desserts. The combination of sweet cherries, warm ginger, and aromatic cinnamon creates a burst of flavor that pairs perfectly with cakes, pastries, or even as a topping for ice cream.
Ingredients: 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries. 1/2 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup water. 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Pinch of salt. 2 tsp cornstarch or gluten-free alternative dissolved in 2 tbsp cold water.
Instructions: In a saucepan, combine cherries, maple syrup, water, minced ginger, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the cherries are soft and the mixture thickens slightly. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in cold water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the cherry mixture, stirring continuously. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and let the cherry glaze cool slightly before using. You can strain the glaze to remove cherry solids for a smoother texture, if desired.
