Chicken Drumsticks with Cherry BBQ Sauce

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 1 30

Course: entree

Servings:

Calories: 244kcal

A bottle of barbecue sauce can be the perfect pairing for everything from grilled chicken to ribs and as a dipping sauce for fries. But did you know you can make your own if you’re running low and want to try something other than store-bought? This recipe even makes use of frozen cherries to pull it off. Take the cherries straight out of the freezer and simmer them with liquid and spices. You’ll have a sweet-meets-tangy sauce to put on chicken drumsticks, use in baked beans, and everything in between.

Ingredients

8 chicken drumsticks
1 1/2 cups frozen cherries
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp light brown sugar a few turns of the pepper mill
2 tbsp water
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

In a small saucepan on medium heat, stir together the frozen cherries, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, light brown sugar, water, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. Heat until the cherries become tender and plump, about 5 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce mixture until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the mixture to a heat-safe countertop blender, blend until smooth, and then transfer back to the saucepan.
Simmer the blended sauce on low for 15 to 20 minutes until reduced. Remove from the heat and let cool. Once cool, transfer to a jar or airtight container.
Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper. Cook the drumsticks either on the grill or in the oven. Just before the drumsticks are done, brush them generously with cherry BBQ sauce.
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the heat. Brush again with cherry BBQ sauce and serve. Store any leftover cherry BBQ sauce in a jar or airtight container in the fridge.

Whole Wheat Scones With Fresh Cherry Compote

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Course: Breakfast

Servings:

Calories: 436kcal

Ingredients

Fresh Cherry Compote:

1 lb fresh cherries, pitted
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp water

Whole Wheat Scones:

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
8 tbsp unsalted butter, cold
1 egg
4 tbsp Greek yogurt
3 tbsp cold milk

Instructions

Fresh Cherry Compote:

Combine the fresh cherries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the mixture, uncovered, until slightly thickened. Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Mash the cherries with a fork if desired.

Whole Wheat Scones:

Whisk together the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Using a cheese grater, grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork, wooden spoon or spatula until the butter is incorporated.
Mix in the egg, Greek yogurt, and milk. Transfer the mixture onto a well-floured countertop.
Knead the dough with your hands, folding multiple times in the process. Work in enough flour so it’s not sticky to touch.
Form the dough into a circle. Cut the circle into 6 equal-sized triangles. Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven preheats, place the baking sheet in the freezer to allow the scones to chill.
Once the oven has preheated, brush the tops of the scones with milk. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes until golden.
Serve warm scones with fresh cherry compote.

Roast Pork Tenderloin with Cherry Sauce

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Cook Time: 30

Course: entree

Servings:

Roast Pork Tenderloin with Cherry Sauce is a quick and comforting 30 minute meal that combines the best flavors of summer in every fork full. The roast pork tenderloin is moist and juicy while the sweet northwest cherries and fresh thyme complement the flavor of the meat to perfection

Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin (weighing about 1.15lbs in total)
1 tbsp Herbes de Provence (if you don't have Herbes de Provence you can use fresh rosemary and thyme)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
fresh cracked black pepper a few turns of the pepper mill
2 cups fresh, sweet, Northwest Cherries
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (remove the leaves from the stalk by scraping your fingernail along the stalk from the underside)
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
First, let's season the pork tenderloin. This can be done the night before and left to marinate in the fridge if you wish, however I often do this immediately before cooking to be honest. Remove the pork tenderloin from the package and pat dry with a paper towel. I always hear Julia Child's voice in my head when I pat the meat dry. It won't sear properly if you don't!
Set in a bowl and sprinkle with the Herbes de Provence, olive oil, salt and pepper. Make sure each filet is fully coated. Set aside.
(Please make sure to secure your cutting board before you start cutting - you can do this with a damp paper towel or with jar gaskets like I do)
Slice the cherries. If you have a cherry pitter, use that, it makes it so easy. I don't have one surprisingly so I slice around the pit making 4 slices. I like to leave the sweet cherries in big pieces as they look so pretty.
Slice the ends off the garlic and then, using the flat side of your knife, press down with your palm to smush the garlic - the peel will come right off (Le Chef's tip - no fancy gadgets needed). Slice thinly.
In an oven safe pan (like a dutch oven) heat a tbsp of olive oil over medium heat on the stove.
Place the pork loin in the oil. Give it a quick sear 3 minutes (or until golden brown) on each side (each of the 4 sides of the loin should be browned). Flip over using a pair of kitchen tongs.
Remove the pan from the burner and place in the middle rack of the preheated oven, uncovered for 15 minutes with half of butter sliced on top in thin slices.
The meat will still be slightly pink inside - it will continue to cook as it rests. This is the key to juicy pork tenderloin. The seared outsides locks all the moisture inside. It is delicious! If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should read 145 degrees right out of the oven.
Remove pan from the oven and extract the pork tenderloins and set on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. If you don't let the tenderloin rest, all the juices will run out of the meat when you cut it and you will be left with dry pork. Not good.
Now is the time to make the cherry sauce. Put the oven pan back on the burner over medium heat. Add the remaining tbsp of butter and the garlic, cherries and thyme to make a quick pan sauce..
Use a rubber spatula to gently scrape all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan - this is where all the flavor is!
Simmer for 10 minutes until the cherries are soft and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
If you are serving with wild rice (like in the photo) I recommend cooking your rice to package instructions before you begin the meat as cooking time can be longer.

Easy summer desserts are on the menu, and this is the perfect treat for the season. While strawberry shortcakes get all the attention, we’re turning to juicy, sweet Northwest cherries instead. Prep shortcake biscuits ahead of time for any occasion. Once it’s time to serve dessert, pile them high with plenty of whipped cream and cherries.

Ingredients

Muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a cheese grater, grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients mixture. Use a fork to mix until the butter is incorporated and the mixture is crumbly.
Mix in the egg, Greek yogurt, and milk. Knead the dough with your hands to bring it together.
On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thick. Cut five cakes out of the dough using a round biscuit cutter or the mouth of a glass. Place cakes on a plate and leave in the fridge for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Transfer the chilled cakes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool. Slice in half and layer with whipped cream and sliced cherries.

Servings:

Calories: 160kcal

While the combination of cranberry and orange may steal the show during the holiday season, we’re switching things up. Dried cherries are the ideal swap to incorporate into a buttery shortbread cookie that melts in your mouth. Enjoy the cookies as is, or dress them up further with an orange cream frosting. They’re the perfect addition to a holiday cookie menu, whether you’re putting together a platter for a party, bringing a treat to a cookie swap, or prepping holiday cookie boxes as gifts.

Ingredients

Cookies:

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped

Frosting:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 orange

Instructions

Beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, add the chopped dried cherries, and continue mixing until the crumbly mixture comes together to form a dough.
Divide the dough into two portions. Form and roll each into a 6-inch smooth log and wrap individually with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Working with one log of dough at a time, remove the cookie dough from the fridge and unwrap. Use a knife to slice ¼-inch thick slices of dough. Transfer to the baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat together butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat in the orange zest until smooth. Top each cookie with frosting
