Although I typically serve poached cherries with the savory portion of a meal, it is also quite good spooned over ice cream or gelato.
Sweet & Savory Cherry Relish
One of the happiest convergences in nature is that of fresh wild salmon and fresh cherries. Together, they are a luscious seasonal joy. Spoon this relish over grilled or slow-roasted salmon or alongside smoked salmon. It is also delicious served over burrata or alongside lemon cake or olive oil cake for a tangy dessert
Directions
Put the pitted and cut cherries into a medium bowl, add the feta, scallions, red onion, mint and cilantro and toss gently. Add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Taste and add just enough of the lemon juice to balance the sweetness of the cherries.
Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
