Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine cherries & orange Juice, then cover & process until smooth.
• If it's necessary for the sauce to be REALLY smooth, strain the cherry mixture in a sieve over a bowl, then discard the pulp. (I usually don't do this step, however,).
• In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, sugar & brandy (if using). Place over medium-high heat & cook until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly.
• Add the cherry mixture to the sugar water & stir well, then bring it to a boil, reduce heat & simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

• Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling cherry mixture.
• If working with frozen cherries, check on the texture of the mixture and add one tablespoon of water at a time if too thick.
• Return the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly. Don't let the sauce scorch on the bottom.
