We love the flavor of a tangy fro-yo with this sweet sauce, but ice cream is also nice.

Ingredients

2 cups unsweetened frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed
1 cup merlot
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups vanilla fat-free frozen yogurt

How to Make It

Combine cherries, merlot, brown sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Lightly crush about half of cherries with a potato masher. Reduce heat, and cook until reduced to about 1 cup. Let stand 5 minutes. Spoon warm cherry sauce over yogurt.

Delicious, but took forever to reduce and like other reviewers said, was not thick.

This is absolutely delicious. Warm, boozy fruit over frozen yogurt. A bit of summer, a bit of winter, all scooped out into one delicious, fat free bowl of spring. You can read my full review at Taking On Magazines. http://bit.ly/16SbZSO

Pretty good. I liked it, my husband didn't care for it though. Not as sweet as I thought so I might add a bit more sugar next time.

Takes about 15-20min on low simmer to reduce then it's quite good.

It didn't really thicken. Maybe I did something wrong, but it was still pretty loose when all was said and done. Also, the alcohol flavor was a little too strong for me, but I'm a lightweight! My family loved it. I'll tweak the recipe a bit next time.
