Cherry Chipotle "Not Ketchup"
Ripe fresh fruit, sweet onions, pure apple cider vinegar, unprocessed sweeteners like honey and palm sugar: I had visions of brightly colored bottles of my all-natural, completely unprocessed sauces lining supermarket shelves.

- 1 pound Bing cherries pitted (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup diced red onion
- 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup palm sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried ground chipotle powder
Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
Pour into a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the cherry mixture to a boil, turn down the heat a little, and simmer briskly about 45 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to make sure the Not Ketchup isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pot.
When the Not Ketchup looks thickened and glossy, pour it into a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator. Use within 1 month.
