Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ cup shallots sliced
- 1¼ cup frozen pitted cherries
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ⅓ cup sweet red wine
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Heat oil in a small pot, and sauté the shallots until caramelized.
- Add cherries, vinegar, and wine. Simmer the savory cherry sauce for twenty minutes so that it can reduce and thicken.
- Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and chipotle pepper (if using). Finally, swirl in the butter.
- Serve this yummy sauce with lamb, pork, chicken, and more!
Notes
- If you use fresh cherries, be sure to use a cherry pitter (paid link). I love mine!
- For the wine, I like to use Stella Rosa Black. Feel free to use your favorite sweet wine.
- Although I'm listing the chipotle pepper as an optional ingredient, I'm hoping you choose to add it. The chipotle pepper adds a layer of smokey/spicy flavor that's perfect in this sauce.
- You may also want to add a clove of crushed garlic, but whatever you do, don't forget a pinch of salt and pepper!
