The sun came up with no conclusion
Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city’s cemetery’s humming
I’m wide-awake, it’s morning
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents have they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses

Although initially tempted, I didn’t want to hassle with making a cherry pie with this batch of cherries. This relish is similar to a good Thanksgiving cranberry relish, a little sweet married with a little tart. I used this relish in an amazing sandwich that I will be sharing later in the week. Some other blogger’s relish ideas:
Ingredients:
2 cups of cherries, pitted chopped
1/3 cup granny smith apple, diced
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/3-½ cup of brown sugar (depending on the sweetness of the cherries)
½ cup of apple cider vinegar
Pinch of salt
Pinch of all spice
Pinch of cinnamon
Directions:
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sauce pan bring and bring to a boil
2. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer, cook for about an hour or until the liquid has evaporated
That’s some beautiful relish—looking forward to the sandwich post.
You could also probably add a splash of alcohol to the recipe—like maybe some Kirsch, Cointreau, or Calvados if you’re into that sort of thing.
This would be great with pork–or roasted duck! Yum.
