Cherry season just opened so we went and picked a few lbs. Made a light, delightful fresh salsa tonight.
Here’s the recipe:
– 2 cups cherries (pitted and quartered)
– 2 cups grape tomatoes (quartered)
– 1/2 cup shallots (diced)
Р1 medium to large jalape̱o (deseeded and finely chopped)
– 1 medium sized serrano pepper (with seeds, finely chopped)
– 1 tsp sea salt
– 1/2 tsp brown sugar
– 1/8 tsp pepper
– 1 tbsp fresh basil (chopped)
– 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
– 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
This is great for a dinner party or backyard summer snack. I chill it for about two hours which makes it heaven on a hot day.
This is one recipe I don’t put in the food processor as I find it blends the flavors too much. It takes a little longer to prep, but it’s a peaceful experience that pays off after the first bite.

This sounds fantastic, just added cherries to my shopping list for tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds pretty good. Never thought of peppers and cherries together but I could imagine it’s pretty good.
Sounds great! I wonder if the same recipe would work replacing Cranberries for Cherries.
This sounds so intriguing. Do you eat this with tortilla chips, or what’s the preferred way people consume it?
