Cherry Relish

This cherry relish need not be limited to turkey. Try it on a hamburger. Delicious.

• 1/2 cup dried tart cherries
• 1/2 cup cherry preserves
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 chopped yellow bell pepper
• 1/4 chopped green bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

METHOD

Combine dried cherries, preserves and vinegar in a small microwave-safe bowl. Mix well. Microwave on High (100% power) 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, or until hot. Let stand 5 minutes.

Stir in red onion, yellow and green bell pepper and thyme. Mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 3 to 4 hours or overnight.

Serve as a sauce with roast turkey or chicken. This relish is also good with grilled hamburgers.

Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
