I live in the Columbia River Gorge. So many cherries are produced in a very short period, that during cherry harvest, farmers sell pounds of the stuff. I created a savory recipe because there's only so much cherry pie and ice cream one man can eat!
Ingredients
- 1 pound cherries , pitted
- 1 cup cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups rice vinegar
- 1 large onion , chopped
- 1 Granny Smith apple - peeled , cored and chopped
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg

Place the cherries, cider vinegar, rice vinegar, onion, apple, white sugar, brown sugar, ginger, five-spice powder, salt, and nutmeg into a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid, and continue simmering until the desired consistency has been reached. Chill before serving.

Gandule Rice
A Puerto Rican dish with local Hawaiian flavor. Labor intensive, but also delicious. One ingredient, pigeon pea, is Native to Africa and is also called 'Congo pea' and 'no-eyed pea'; achiote seeds are slightly musky-flavored seeds of the annatto tree, available whole or ground in East Indian, Spanish and Latin American markets. Buy whole seeds when they're a rusty red color; brown seeds are old and flavorless.
