1/4 cup sliced shallots

2 cloves garlic cloves

1/2 cup fresh cherries

2/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon corn starch

Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and sauté for a few minutes until translucent. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.

Add the cherries and balsamic vinegar and simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until reduced.
