Cherries and vanilla pair deliciously to top out yogurt, chocolate cake, buttered english muffins or whatever delicious things you can dream up. Inspired by Trixie_Stardust73 @ Allrecipes https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/258354/simple-tart-cherry-compote/ 

4 cups pitted cherries, fresh or frozen with their juices

¼ cup sugar

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1 cinnamon stick

½ lemon, zested and juiced

1 tsp vanilla

Stir the cherries and any accumulated juices, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon stick, lemon zest and juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 4 minutes until bubbly and the cornstarch has slightly thickened the sauce. Take off the heat and add the vanilla.
