Tried & True
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
1 1/4 Pounds Sweet Cherries -- pitted
4 Chipotle Peppers -- see notes
4 Cloves Garlic -- chopped
1/8 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/8 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
Pinch Cumin Seed -- crushed
1 Bay Leaf
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Cup Cider Vinegar
1/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt -- or to taste
Soakthe chipotles in boiling water for 30 minutes (if dried), or less if simply frozen. Drain and deseed, then puree with the garlic, herbs, cumin and cherries. (don't puree the bay leaf)
Heat the oil, fry the puree in the oil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes, until quite syrupy.
Place into clean, sterilized jars while still hot, and seal. It can be kept in the refrigerator for several months like this, or for longer storage, or pantry storage, process in boiling water bath for 20 minutes.
Use as a glaze for grilled pork, or as a relish for any cold roasted meat. The creator also suggests that it is remarkably good over ice cream!

NOTES : I used frozen home-smoked chipotles. 4 made a sauce with quite a bite, but not intolerable.
