Back when I was cooking the hot lunch main dish for about 1,300 students a day, I liked to make this simple old-time dessert for my husband and sons. A scoop of ice cream is perfect.

Ingredients

1 can (16 ounces) pitted tart red cherries, undrained
1-1/2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/4 cup butter, divided

Place cherries and juice in a straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven along with water, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons butter. Simmer for 5 minutes.
