Cherry Salsa is a blend of amazing sweet cherries, tangy lime, and kickin’ jalapeños! This sweet and spicy blend tastes incredible! Serve it on pork, chicken, steak, and of course tortilla chips.

Cherry Salsa

Hey friends! Are you enjoying summer? Why does it always go so fast?? We’ve not only been enjoying the sunshine, but we’ve been enjoying summer’s bounty as well! It’s cherry season!

Actually, it’s almost over. It’s so short, so we just have to make the most of it. We almost missed it! I got the kids (mine plus one) all packed up in the car, with our containers and our dark colored clothes on. I made them all wear jeans and long sleeves because last year, there were so many bugs, I thought I was in the plague! Thankfully, no bugs this year.

On our way to our usual place, we learned that they had NO MORE CHERRIES to pick. So, I thought, well, I guess I’ll just buy them. But as we were arriving, I remembered there is another orchard, practically next door. Oh, why not? let’s just go see, and, compare prices (being the good dutch girl I am). And wouldn’t you know it?! They had tons to pick! And, 3 varieties!

So, yeah, 63.5 pounds later…

I had no idea we had that much. I thought we had about half that. So, you can just imagine what I’ve been doing lately. PITTING CHERRIES! all. day. long. 🙂  And cooking up a cherry storm. So, you can plan on seeing a few cherry recipes coming your way. And this one, is the first…

What you need~

  • Cherries, pitted and chopped
  • jalapeño, finely diced
  • red onion, diced
  • cilantro, chopped
  • fresh squeezed lime juice
  • salt & pepper to taste

What to do~

  • Mix it all together!

How easy was that?? Your family will think you took gourmet cooking lessons! And they’ll thank you.

Notes~

  • We have people in our family who can’t handle the heat. So, this is a mild version. Add the whole jalapeño to take it up a notch. And if you really want to turn it up, keep the ribs and seeds in there.
  • I have the a cherry pitter that screws onto a jar. I purchased it from an cherry orchard many years ago. I can’t find one like this on amazon.

  • Here are some other great cherry pitters. After 63 pounds, I think I need to upgrade!

What’s your favorite summer fruit? And please, drop a line and tell me what yer makin’!

    I am so excited to try this recipe! I found cherry salsa at the Kansas City River Market a year ago and this looks as close to what I had than anything else I have seen online. We ate it on chips and topped our chicken tacos with it and a little sour cream. But the most delicious way I ate it was on a shortbread cookie! I know it sounds weird but it was so delicious!!!
    I’m going to Sprouts tomorrow to get some cherries and will make this.
    Thank you!

    This salsa looks AMAZING! I love cherries, and I planted my first cherry tree in our yard this summer. That cherry pitter looks like a must have. Thanks for sharing! Visiting from the Weekend Potluck.
