Directions
Wash the cherries thoroughly and then give them a good drain. Spread them out on a metal baking sheet and leave them in the sun for about an hour to make sure they’re completely dry. Once dry, transfer the cherries into a clean, sterilized jar with a plastic lid. Sprinkle in the salt, then pour enough vinegar over the cherries to fill the jar. Seal the jar tightly and set it aside in a cool spot. Let it sit for 3 to 4 weeks so the flavors can develop and the color can deepen. When it's ready, pop it in the fridge to keep it fresh.
How To Present This Dish
This chutney pairs wonderfully with roasted meats like pork or chicken. It also works well as a spread on sandwiches or served alongside cheese and crackers. Try it as a condiment for curries or grilled vegetables to add a bright, fruity contrast.
How To Save Leftovers
Allow the chutney to cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, consider freezing in small portions or canning using proper sterilization methods.
