Boy Howdy....things sure look different around these parts....guess I've been away too long!
Howdy all, I'm in a quandary as I'm considering cooking an old RhumAndJerk recipe, "Grilled Marinated Pork Chops with Habanero Cherry Sauce"....a recipe from the nearby Chimayo Restaurant (that burned down this year :( )...I don't think I can find fresh cherries required for the sauce....any ideas? Can I buy frozen? will they work?....or substitute different kind of berries?-I can get rasberries and blackberries fresh and delicious all day long.
Thanks for your help, Eggers!

    Well hello there! it has been awhile! Frozen cherries will be fine if it is a recipe that involves cooking them at all, you will not know the difference. If it is important to have fresh I would think raspberries would be fine or the black berries. Let us know what you go with and how it comes out. maybe share the recipe :whistle: LOL and a picture is even better. Julie

    Use a little from a can of cherry pie filling and mix with some chilies and mix in a blender. Chipotle might be a good substitute for a sauce mix.

    Our favorite new glaze is simply Cherry preserves mixed 50/50 with Billy Bones Original sauce (but should work with any bbq sauce), so try using cherry preserves. They are pretty chunky, so you might want to run them through with an immersion blender or food processer if you like.

    I've always had this recipe in my notebook I printed out almost 8 years ago...and never went for it because it indicated it took a "long" time to prepare the sauce. But, it's probably no different from the KC Struttin' Sauce I've made many times out of Jamison's "Smoke & Spice", a small labor of love but worth every minute invested...thanks for the recommendation on using frozen cherries, as I want to stay as close to the original recipe as possible.
    Gracias to all who replied!

    Buy a bottle of pomegranite syrup(Rose's I think); it's where you would buy mixers for dring alchohol. HTH.
