If you crave a richer cherry salsa with more jalapeño kick, this is it. We start with chunky tomatoes, onions, peppers, and garlic, then fold in Michigan-grown cherries and extra jalapeños for a sweet-heat profile that’s bright, zesty, and satisfyingly bold.
The cherries round out the spice so you get flavor first, heat second. Great with tortilla chips, on burgers or meatloaf, and as a lively topper for grilled chicken or pork.
