I was going through my Bon Appetit magazine and saw a great recipe for a Chipolte Cherry Barbecue sauce that sounded really good. I decided to make it and I’m really glad that I did as it tastes great. It would be wonderful with any meat or fish. You can taste all the flavors of the cherry preserves, the chilies, the lemon juice. These flavors really go quite well together.
