Oven Roasted Balsamic Cherries

The cherries are fantastic right now - we couldn't wait to share this recipe with you! Hate pitting cherries? Well Seasoned carries several cherry pitters in store (and a multi-pitter in our online store).

Oven Roasted Balsamic Cherries

Delicious right out of the oven on ice cream, on baked brie, a crostini with whipped ricotta, on your charcuterie board or on your yogurt at breakfast.

Ingredients:

• fresh local Cherries, pitted & halved
• aged Balsamic Vinegar (minimum 7 year)*
• Well Seasoned Extra Virgin Olive Oil*
• several sprigs of fresh Thyme
• *Available from Well Seasoned

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Spread the cherries out in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle cherries with olive oil and toss with the sprigs of thyme (about 2 Tbsp. oil per lb. of cherries).
2. Roast for about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cherries soften and release their juices and they begin to caramelize. Remove from the oven and drizzle with really good balsamic vinegar. Transfer to a bowl to serve.
