Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

2 cups dried cherries
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
6 tablespoons apple juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Preparation

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a microwavable 2-quart casserole. Cook, uncovered, at full power for 6 minutes. (I used a 650-700 watt carousel microwave.) Stir, making sure the sugar has dissolved, then return to the microwave. Cook 8 minutes more at full power. Cool, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Serve as a condiment.
