For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of almond extract to the filling after removing it from the heat. If using frozen cherries, be sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using them in the recipe. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the tartness of the cherries. To avoid a gummy texture, ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the filling is cooked at a gentle simmer. This filling can also be used as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
