Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Cherries that are a YES/Caution are Montmorency cherries. They are the same ones used in pies. If you buy a can of them, they will say “TART” on the can and packed in WATER. DO NOT use ones packed in heavy syrup.

Bing cherries AND Queen Anne Cherries are a HUGE NO! They are very high carb. Twice as high as Montmorency cherries.

If you think you might get confused err on the side of caution and do NOT eat cherries.

Servings: Serving size 1/3 cup, cooked

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of TART (Montmorency) cherries packed in WATER only (You can also use fresh or frozen Montmorency cherries. These are the ones sold in Door County, WI for example.)
• 2 Tbl of cornstarch dissolved in ¼ cup of water
• 4 tsp Truvia
• 2 tsp of organic vanilla
• ½ – 1 tsp of almond flavoring

Instructions:

Put the ingredients in a pan and bring to a low boil, stirring often. If you use fresh cherries you’ll need to add a cup of water to make up for the liquid in the can. Boil at a slow bubble until the cornstarch kicks in and you get a thick sauce. Just like pie filling in a can. Tastes just like the pie filling. The color will be more pale because you will not be pouring in a bunch of red dye. You don’t need those chemicals in your system.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
