Grandma Claudy's Cherry Sauce

In a pan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pour reserved cherry juice in measuring cup and add enough water to measure 2 cups. Gradually stir water into sugar mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until thickened. Cut cherries in half or quarters.

Add cherries once mixture has thickened. This can be made ahead and reheated just before serving. Makes about 4 cups.
