A simple salad of peppery arugula, crunchy Marcona almonds, thinly shaved Parmesan, and sweet golden cherries is an unexpected and satisfying way to start the week.
Intricately decorated lattice pies are lovely, but not exactly weeknight-friendly. Instead, top lightly sweetened fresh cherries with a nutty oat crumble and bake until browned and bubbly.
Pan-sear pork tenderloin to a golden brown and top with a piquant sauce made with cherries, red wine, and thyme. The recipe calls for frozen cherries, but if you have good fresh ones, all the better.
Warm, fluffy buttermilk waffles are a decadent treat when topped with homemade cherry compote. Finish the dish with a dollop of yogurt and pair with crisp bacon or sausage patties.
Kick off the holiday weekend with these enormous sweet-and-smoky beef ribs doused in a spicy cherry-laced barbecue sauce.
