  4. Add in cornstarch mix to Port-cherry sauce. Bring to simmer, whisking constantly. Add in butter 1 piece at a time, whisking till butter is melted before adding next piece. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

"He ordered the special - a duck breast with cherry sauce - and really enjoyed it. I would love to make this dish for him at home."
