SOUR CHERRY SALSA

Steps:

• If using fresh cherries, coarsely chop, then stir together with sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. If using frozen cherries, thaw in a small bowl, reserving any juices in bowl, then coarsely chop and stir together with sugar in same bowl. Stir in onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and salt and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes for flavors to develop.

CANNING CHERRY SALSA

Steps:

• First, prepare jars and lids for canning.
• Next, pit cherries.
• Coarsely chop pitted cherries, cilantro, red onions, jalapenos, and garlic.
• Place all ingredients into a copper jam pot, stainless steel pot or enamel dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce to simmering, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Ladle cherry salsa into warmed pint mason jars leaving a 1/2-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles, add additional salsa if needed.
• Wipe the rim of jars with a clean dish towel, add warmed lids and rings to finger tight.
• Process pints in a water bath or steam canner for 15 minutes (for the altitude of 0 - 1000 feet), add additional time based on your altitude (see chart in the article).

QUICK AND EASY, CHERRY TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• First, peel the onion and cut it in half. Then, add the onion and garlic cloves to the bowl of a food processor.
• Chop the onion and garlic, then roughly chop one jalapeño and add it to the food processor. (Exclude the membrane and seeds to reduce the heat.)
• Chop the jalapeño with the onions/garlic.
• Next, add tomatoes then cilantro to the food processor.
• Chop the tomatoes and cilantro to your desired consistency.
• This next step is optional, but I like to do it - pour the salsa into a fine metal strainer over a bowl to get rid of any excess moisture. (The tomatoes and onions release a lot of liquid when you chop them up.) You want to do this BEFORE adding the salt and lime juice because you will strain out the salt and lime otherwise.
• Return the strained salsa to a bowl (or the food processor), then add salt and the juice of a lime.
• Mix well, then taste. Adjust with more salt, lime, and cilantro if needed. Serve with tortilla chips.
