BALSAMIC ROASTED CHERRIES

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound of cherries, intact (no need to remove stems and pits)

• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 1/4 cup Black Cherry Balsamic Vinegar

• sea salt and black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Rinse cherries and pat dry.

Toss dried cherries with remaining ingredients.

Place cherries in a non-reactive baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

Bake covered for 20 minutes or until cherries start to release their juices.

Remove foil and return to oven for 5 minutes to let juices caramelize just a bit.

NOTES:

I would advise placing a cookie tin or something under your baking dish to catch any juices that bubble over. And yes, I am speaking from experience.
