Ingredients
Peppered Cherry Glaze
- Ingredients
- 1 ¼ kilograms Sour cherry (or 1 kg thawed frozen cherries)
- 3 Oranges
- 200 milliliters Red wine vinegar
- 3 tsps pink peppercorns
- 3 tsps dried green peppercorns
- 1 tsp white peppercorns
- 1 stalk cinnamon
- 200 grams jam sugar (3:1 ratio)
- 1 pinch salt
Rinse jars (each about 400 ml) (each approximately 14 ounces) and their matching lids with boiling water and leave upside down to dry on a kitchen towel.
Rinse cherries, drain and remove pits. Rinse 1 orange in hot water, wipe dry and finely grate zest.
Squeeze juice from all oranges and measure out 200 ml (about 7 ounces) of juice.
Combine vinegar, orange juice and orange zest, pepper, cinnamon and sugar in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add cherries to the pot and return mixture to a boil.
Cook for 1 more minute and season with a pinch of salt. Ladle into jars, cover with lids and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Tip: To preserve for longer, process jars according to manufacturer's instructions (or visit http://nchfp.uga.edu/). Glaze tastes best 2-3 months after preparation.

Healthy, because
The power of the cherry comes out of the glass spoon by spoon - it scores with minerals and vitamins. The contents of potassium, calcium, magnesium, the trace element iron as well as folic acid and vitamin C are particularly noteworthy. The small fruit also offers a whole range of protective shields in the form of secondary plant substances.

An equally delicious variation: to flavour the stock, add 2 to 3 cloves instead of cinnamon.
