Just put this on my website, too. I used two canned chipotles for the
second time around (I'd used a couple dried ones the first time around
several months ago.) I prefer the canned.

Cherry Chipotle Relish
Recipe by Barb Schaller, 2004 Minnesota State Fair Prestigious Processor
of the Pantry and Gedney State Fair Jam Lady
©Barbara Schaller 2005

1 chipotle pepper canned in adobo sauce (there are several in a 6-ounce
can)
1 small onion (about 1/3 cup chopped onion (not too finely cut, but not
chunks, either)
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 cup Gedney State Fair Cherry Preserves (Barb Schaller's recipe)

In food processor workbowl, chop the chipotle pepper, the onion, and the
garlic. Maybe 5-10 pulses.

In a small sauce pan, combine the onion mixture with the cider vinegar,
bring to boil then stir in the State Fair Cherry Preserves. Let cool
before serving with your favorite grilled meat or cheese. If it's too
spicy for your taste, add more Cherry Preserves and vinegar until of
desired taste and consistency. It will thicken on cooling.

Note: This can be rather spicy -- one of those things that's spicy but
you can't stop eating it! You can adjust the heat with more preserves.

I hope you love it as much as I do.

Dobru' chut'!

Thanks for looking.

<recipe snippage>

For those of us not blessed enough to have access to the State Fair
Gedney's Goodies, could you propose a reasonable substitute for the
cherry preserves? Or should I just go for the gold and use up my
Peach Melba Jammies (for the brownies) and change the name of the
brownies? Or should I just sit in a corner and pout? (I do this very
well.)

Next time I see you, and there WILL be a next time (promise, not a
threat), I'm gonna git you to sign one of those jars! It's just not
good enough to have that angel face looking at me from the label, I
need an autograph :0)

Show me the money. I'm happy to pick some up and ship it as long as its
understood that it's not cheap to mail a 1# jar.
As far as a substitute, ye gods, Tammy, use up that Peach Rapberry jam!
It's got to be an awful color by now. BTW, I have certainly used the PR
jam in the brownies, though I've always swirled a few dollops through
the usual batter, rather than mixing it into the batter as I did with
these. Your call.
For the relish, try some goormet shop (TJ?) or the highbuck supermarket
-- I'm thinking there's cherry preserves out there. I will say that the
Gedney product is chock full of fruit bits -- not puree with a couple
bits here and there.

I'd substitute allspice because I hate nutmeg, even a little of it.

Appreciate the offer, dollface. But what kinda cheapass company is
Gedneys to not have a web site where us po' folk Californicators can
buy it off the web rawther than bother our Meen-a-SOTE-an frinds?

>As far as a substitute, ye gods, Tammy, use up that Peach Rapberry jam!

ALRIGHT, ALREADY, stop yellin' at me about the !*#$*!&#$!&* PR
jam!!!!! I was saving it for posterior. Posterity. Whatever. Is it
my sparklingly creative imagination or are you getting cranky in your
old .... um ... in your advancing ... golden ... ermmmm ... in your
AARP years? <ducking and running FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!> <speedy little
whippersnapper that I am :->)

I'll give it a shot and feed it to the lads next door. If they
survive, I'll make some for my work folk. "-)

Now this is going to sound dorky, so remember that I'm not of the
preserving persuasion (tm), but what kinda cherries might one use to
make cherry preserves? Could one use frozen cherries? Or Bings which
are the most common kinda cherry in these parts that I've seen. Even
though I'm not of the PP, I might just give it a shot next year....
One nevuh knows....

Nope, it's not your imagination. I've always been temperamental and
moody (A true Cancer). Besides that, my sister died yesterday and I've
got a wicked schedule this week.

I use sour cherries (frozen) from Door County, Wisconsin. It's their
specialty. The Blue Ribbon Cherry Amaretto Jam was made with those and
with a bag of Dole frozen Bings.

Try this.

Hey, Girlie, I had my threads mixed up. I posted the cherry jam recipe
thinking you wanted it for the brownies. This might give you a jumping
off place as far as proportions go.

Pay attention: Go ahead and laugh at me, but for a chipotle relish, in
the recipe below LEAVE OUT the raisins spices, nuts, and cornstarch
slurry; and ADD a chipotle in adobo sauce (maybe use two) and maybe
1/2-3/4 cup chopped onion and a minced clove of garlic. Chop the
chipotle/s first. You could chop the cherries or not. If, when you're
all done with it, it's too soupy, strain it and reduce the liquid then
mix it back with the relish. Just some thoughts that should come at
least close to working.

Cherry Honey Relish

Recipe By : posted to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller, 8/2/505
Serving Size : Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Relish

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cups pitted tart cherries
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup light brown sugar -- packed
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup pecans -- coarsely chopped
1 Tblsp cornstarch
1 Tblsp Cold Water

Makes 2-1/2 cups, or 5 half-pints

Refrigerate, freeze or can.

If Canning:

Wash and sterilize 5 half-pint mason jars and lids. Pour hot cherry
mixture into hot jars. Quickly wipe the glass rims clean of any
spillage, and screw the lids on the jars. Carefully set into a large
canner of boiling water. Bring back to boil, and process the relish for
30 minutes. Start counting your time after the water has returned to a
boil. Carefully remove the jars, being careful not to twist the ring
caps at this point. Allow to completely cool. Remove the rings, test
your caps to be sure they have sealed. Store in cool place. Will keep
indefinitely.

know who posted it then. I've another similar recipe without the
cornstarch. Gack.
