Oh. My. This stuff is delicious! It is sweet, with that wonderful cherry flavor. You could throw a jalapeno in the mix to give it a kick, but I kept it straight forward to maximize the ways I could use it. Whether you use it as a BBQ sauce or glaze, a sauce over some braised meat, or a dip you’ll have yourself the beautiful flavors of summer in a bright, flavorful barbecue sauce. TIP: Using fresh cherries and wonder how you should pit them? I slice off the stem and then just use my fingers to pinch the pit out. It’s actually super easy and makes it go a lot faster than trying to slice off all the flesh of the cherry around the pit.
What should I make with cherry balsamic barbecue sauce? Cherry Balsamic Barbecue Sauce goes fantastic with roast chicken or even ribs! You can use this in place of traditional barbecue sauce in practically any recipe. How long will it last in the fridge? Homemade barbecue sauce does not keep as long as store bought, so you will want to use all of your barbecue sauce within 1 week, and keep it stored in the fridge. Can I use frozen cherries? Yes! If you want to use frozen cherries simply let them thaw on the counter before using. You may even find already pitted frozen cherries at your grocery store, saving you some time!
