Ingredients
- 1 ½ c fresh cherries stemmed and pitted, about 28 large cherries (10oz)
- ½ c shallot diced, approximately 1 whole medium shallot
- 2 tbs fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 tbs fresh basil chopped
- 1 jalapeño finely chopped, deseed for less heat
- 2 tbs lime juice freshly squeezed, 1 whole lime
- 1 tbs brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- De-stem and pit your cherries with a cherry pitter. Dice them into approximately ¼” pieces.
- Ten ounces will yield about 8 finished ounces, or 1 ½ cups chopped.
- Add all the ingredients into a medium bowl and stir together. Enjoy on grilled meat, or my favorite way, directly on tortilla chips.
Notes
Be sure to make this fresh right before serving. About 10-15 minutes in advance will allow the flavors to meld, but like many salsas, it is meant to be eaten same day.
The quickest way to de-seed is to remove all stems first, then proceed with your pitter. This will cut your time in half.
