Select very ripe fruit
Very ripe cornelian cherries that are already dark red in color are best for this recipe. They cook quickly, which is perfect for a sauce. They also taste sweet rather than sour. This means you don’t need to add much sugar.
Season cornelian cherry sauce to taste
You can season the cornelian cherry sauce with spices and herbs of your choice, similar to the vegan gravy or the mushroom stroganoff. Adjust the amount of sugar and salt to taste. If you don’t like the freshness of the mint leaves in the sauce, you can leave them out.
Adjust the consistency
Depending on how long you cook the cornelian cherries in the vegetable stock, more or less liquid will evaporate. This determines the consistency of your sauce. You can then dilute it with more vegetable stock to your preference when blending. My cornelian cherry sauce had a creamy consistency.
With pasta, potatoes and co.
The cornelian cherry sauce goes perfectly with pasta, as well as the cauliflower sauce. It makes a great tasty change from the classic tomato sauce.
You can also serve the fruity sauce with boiled potatoes. It tastes delicious with the vegan pelmeni or gnocchi too. Try it with the oatmeal patties, the kidney bean fritters or the lentil patties.
