Spicy, Not Overpowering — Just Right
If you crave a richer cherry salsa with more jalapeño kick, this is it. We start with chunky tomatoes, onions, peppers, and garlic, then fold in Michigan-grown cherries and extra jalapeños for a sweet-heat profile that’s bright, zesty, and satisfyingly bold.
Medium/Hot Flavor You Can Serve Anywhere
The cherries round out the spice so you get flavor first, heat second. Great with tortilla chips, on burgers or meatloaf, and as a lively topper for grilled chicken or pork.
