Tart Cherry Sauce It may seem silly to sweeten tart cherries to make them taste like sweet cherries, but even when sweetened, tart cherries have a slight tartness reminiscent of cranberries. Tart cherries can be used much like cranberries in crisps, relish, and sauces like this one, which is terrific over vanilla ice cream. Makes about 3 cups.
	Ingredients: 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves 3 cups tart cherries (about 11/4 pounds,) pitted and halved 2/3 cup sugar 1 tablespoon orange rind, cut in julienne strips 2 tablespoons bourbon or brandy 1/4 cup toasted, sliced almonds
	Instructions: 1. Combine tart cherries, sugar, orange rind, and bourbon in a saucepan. Set aside for 30 minutes. 2. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Simmer about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool, then stir in almonds.
