If you cannot wait until cherries arrive at the market…

May 19th, 2009

Slowly but surely, fresh cherries are creeping into the markets! They are still a little pricey, so in case you can’t wait, I highly recommend Bonne Maman’s Cherry Fruit Sauce. I use this on my toast but it is equally as wonderful on vanilla ice cream or as the filling of a cherry galette or crostata. It would be perfect in savory fruit sauces for duck as well. The possilities are limitless.

The only problem is that this product is hard to find. I got mine at The Peppercorn, a specialty cookwares store here in Boulder. I did a web search and didn’t come up with much on this product so you’ll have to keep a look out. They make an apricot version which is good too. I especially like this Bonne Maman product because it is very close to the kind of preserves I make, not too much sugar and very little pectin. While it isn’t cheap, it offers great value as it saves you time making your own. My advice if you like it, buy more than one as it is elusive!
