1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter
1 1/2 c. cherries, drained (save juice)
1/4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
Mix flour, salt and sugar. Cut in butter. Reserve 1/3 of mixture; spread remainder in 8-inch square pan. Place cherries over crumbs; sprinkle reserved crumbs over cherries. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Serve with hot cherry sauce: Thicken juice with 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch cooking until clear. Cafeteria cooks stretched sauce by adding other fruit juices.
