GROUND CHERRY SALSA
I love salsa with a hint of natural sweetness and ground cherries are a perfect addition. This is a relatively mild salsa; if you like it spicier, don't remove the jalapeno seeds, or increase the amount of jalapeno. I use only organic produce, so I don't peel the cucumber.

CHIPOTLE-CHERRY SALSA
This salsa comes from "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" by Mark Bittman -- one of my favorite cookbooks. It's pretty fast to make -- the only time-consuming part is pitting the cherries, and if you have a cherry pitter you could probably cut the time in half. I have had this with blackened tofu and also with "fake chicken" Quorn cutlets, and my husband wants to try it with chicken and/or fish. It's not too sweet, and not overly spicy when made as written (I doubled the amount of chipotle chilies and it wasn't very spicy for a heat freak like me!)

LONDON BROIL WITH CHERRY SALSA
When I was younger I would go over to my twin best friends' house for sleepovers periodically. The main event for dinner was always London broil. To be quite frank, it didn't have much going on flavor wise, but the love I felt from their family shined through. This is an ode to that, with my own twist.
