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.

Potato Chip Pizza
The first time I saw potatoes offered as a pizza topping, I thought that was one of the dumbest things I had ever seen. But then I tried it and realized that if done properly, they can be a fantastic pizza topping. The only problem is they're extremely hard to do properly since they need to cook through by the time our crust is done, which, long story short, led me to try potato chips, which worked out astonishingly well.
