<\/a><\/p>\nThis cherrylicious salsa was a huge hit at last night’s Cherry Fest at Whole Foods Market in Tustin and I guarantee it will be at your house, too. “Oh Sweet Cherry Salsa” highlights the essence of the fruit, is a breeze to make and requires NO cooking! The natural sweetness of the cherries pops with a touch of tart lime and subtle heat from serrano and jalape\u00f1o peppers.<\/p>\n
Cherry Food Pairings<\/h2>\n
Cherry sauces are a natural pairing for pork and this beautiful vibrantly colored salsa would add a fresh zip to grilled pork (and chicken) or layer it with yogurt for a jazzy morning yogurt parfait. I served it on top of fresh grilled Copper River Salmon and it was fabulous! Copper River Salmon is now in season – I picked it up at the same time I bought the cherries. You can do even better by taking advantage of their nation-wide one-day super sale on cherries tomorrow – Friday, July 11th only, Bing cherries are on sale for $1.99!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAt that price, it’s time to enjoy the best of summer’s fruit and stock up on peak-season cherries – both Rainier and Bing. My family gobbles up cherries out of hand – they never seem to last long enough to grace any baked good, but now that I’m a proud owner of a cherry pitter and at this amazing price, I may actually attempt one of the gorgeous cherry desserts I’ve seen as well as preserve some of summer’s sweetness by freezing, drying, and\/or pickling a bunch. But let’s get back to that yummy salsa…<\/p>\n
