Untested - Cherry Moos

Another Mennonite recipe, this time for sour cherries. I'll have to find myself a source! There are several versions of this recipe, but most ask for canned fruit or cornstarch or food colouring. This is a simpler, cleaner version taken from this location, apparently originally from a book titled taken from "Off the Mountain Lake Range" recipe book.


1 quart sour cherries
2 quarts water
2/3 cup sugar
5 Tbsps. flour
1 cup heavy cream

1. Add water to cherries and cook until soft.
2. Add half of the sugar to cherries.
3. Combine remaining sugar with flour and add cream to make a smooth paste.
4. Add paste to cherries and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
5. Serve warm or cold as desired. Makes 6-8 servings.
