Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 sharp chef's knife
  • 1 cherry pitter optional
  • 1 citrus press optional

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet cherries pitted
  • 1/2 medium jalapeno seeded, ribs removed (for more heat add more with the seeds and ribs)
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients together and stir.
  • Adjust to taste.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • A cherry pitter is helpful. If you don't have one, use your knife to cut around the cherry, remove the pit with your fingers, and proceed to chop the cherries.
  • A citrus press is a quick and easy way to juice the limes.
  • Adjust heat by leaving or omitting the ribs and seeds of the jalapeños. Leaving ribs and seeds adds heat, removing ribs and seeds lessens heat. 
  • If you like a less chunky more juicy salsa, pop all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until you have your desired consistency.
