Instructions
Pit cherries and dice (or chop in a food processor). In a saucepan, combine cherries, shallot, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, cayenne, and cloves, stir, and heat to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until cherries and onions are soft, about 25 minutes. Very carefully, blend with an immersion blender or food processor or blender with the lid off (to allow steam to escape). Sauce will thicken more upon standing, but you can also simmer the blended sauce until it has thickened to your liking.
