- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and Grand Marnier; stir into cherry mixture. Return to a boil and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 4 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Top each tart slice with cherry compote immediately before serving.
