Cherries and Apricots with Cinnamon Sauce
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. Use fresh San Benito County fruit and serve for breakfast as well as for a delicious fruit salad at lunch or as a light dessert. Fabulous over vanilla or deep chocolate ice cream, of course.
1-2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and stems removed
1-2 cups fresh apricots, quartered
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2-4 tablespoons sugar or honey, depending on sweetness of fruits
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of fine sea salt
pinch of freshly ground black pepper or chipotle pepper
Combine all ingredients in batter bowl. Loosely cover with waxed paper. Microwave on high 3-5 minutes. Stir to blend. Cook just until fruits are hot and turning a little soft, but not mushy. Fabulous served in stemmed glasses with a dollop of creme fraiche on top.
