- 1 pint fresh cherries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- pinch salt
- 1/4 cup water or a dessert liquor
Preheat oven 450 degrees F.
Place whole, unpitted cherries, in small pan or baking dish.
Sprinkle the salt, sugar and liquid of your choice.
Place in the oven and roasted until the cherries start to release their juices and the sugar melts and begins to carmelize, about 15 min.
- When possible, buy local and organic cherries directly from a farm or farmer’s market. Use any variety of the cherry rainbow!
- No need to pit before roasting! But if you’d like to, a cherry pitter is worth the investment.
- Roasted cherries will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
