Ingredients:
- 1 cup sweet cherries (thawed if previously frozen)
- 1 medium onion
- 5 cloves garlic
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 1-2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Roughly chop the onion and garlic.
In a large saute pan over medium heat, saute the onion until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute more.
Add the tomato paste and cook 2-3 minutes more, stirring to combine.
Lower the heat to medium low and add the cherries and paprika.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cook for 10-12 minutes more, breaking up the cherries as they soften and using the juices to deglaze the pan.
Add the vinegar and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool enough to handle.
Transfer mixer to a blender and blend until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Depending on the flavor of your cherries, you may also want to add a bit of sugar or vinegar at this point.
