Wash the cherries. Then remove their stems and pits and place them in a pan.
Remove the skins off the garlic and use a grater to grate them into the pan as well.*
Add the maple syrup, salt, chili flakes, and red wine vinegar to the pan and place the pan over a stove-top set to medium heat.
Cover the pan and let the ingredients simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from stove-top and, if you like a less chunky sauce, blend the ingredients together in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
*If you plan on blending this sauce, then you don't need to grate the garlic. Just add the cloves to the pan.**If you would like this sauce to be a bit more liquid, then remove from the heat at 15 minutes, You can also add 2-3 tbsp of water to thin the sauce out before you simmer all the ingredients together.
