Tips:

  • Choose the right cherries: Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Avoid cherries that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Pit the cherries: You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a paring knife to cut around the pit and remove it.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to chop the cherries and other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the relish: Overcooking the relish will make it too soft and mushy. Cook it just until the cherries are softened and the sauce has thickened.
  • Let the relish cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
