Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cherries, vinegar, ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire and a pinch each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cherries are very tender and the sauce thickens slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher or puree with an immersion blender until chunky-smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce in a small bowl for serving.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
