Sauteed Sour Cherries with Vanilla Ice Cream Pit and stem cherries over a bowl. Put butter, or water, if you prefer, in a 10- or 12-inch skillet, and turn heat to medium. When butter melts, add cherries and turn heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cherries begin to give up their juice, a minute or two. Stir in sugar and salt.
Cook until cherries begin to break down, again just a minute or two. Taste and add more sugar if you like. Remove from heat.
To serve, spoon ice cream into 4 dishes, and top with cherries. Cherries may be served hot, warm or at room temperature.
