Re: The cherries are here!
If you still have any cherries left, here is another idea from the article Sweet on Sour . "A handful sauteed in a little red wine, balsamic vinegar and broth can dramatically change anything off the summer grill." I think our local cherries are ready. I'll try this with some grilled pork.
