Place pitted cherries in a medium bowl.

In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, almond extract and salt. Pour mixture over cherries and toss gently to coat.

Pour the cherries and balsamic mixture onto the prepared pan in an even layer.

Roast for 20-25 minutes or until cherries have softened and begun to release their juices. Return cherries, along with any juices, to a medium bowl.

Cool slightly then taste for sweetness. If desired, add an additional tablespoon of brown sugar and mix well. Serve warm over your favorite vanilla ice cream.
