Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir to combine.
- Cook covered on medium heat until the cherries and onions have softened, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer to a blender and puree (slowly and carefully, hot foods can spurt out) or puree with an immersion blender.
- Return to the pot and cook, uncovered, until the mixture is reduced by approximately half and is nicely thickened, 30-40 minutes.
- Taste and adjust salt or pepper, as needed.
- When it’s finished, ladle the sauce into prepared jars. Wipe rims, apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (see note).
Notes
- Makes about 1 pint (I did 1 half pint and 2 half cup jars. The half cup worked perfectly to dilute with water and brush on a cut up chicken (with a little left over for dipping).
- If you double the recipe and puree with a (non-immersion) blender (carefully), you should do it in batches.
- Canning instructions assume you know how to can. If not, you can freeze the sauce or store in the refrigerator and use promptly--or check out canning lessons at Food in Jars.
