- 2 tablespoons cornstarch

* Grandma used home bottled cherries. You can substitute bottled cherries, one quart, but you might need to adjust the sugar. Fresh or frozen pitted cherries and cherry juice could also be used but you would need to cook them on the stove for longer as the bottled cherries are already cooked.
