FRESH CHERRY SALSA - my new, easy favorite

     I'll be the first to admit it, I have been under performing in my basement laundry room "kitchen".  Simply put... I can't stand it down there!  Occasionally, however, I brave the downstairs and actually throw together a fairly decent meal. 
     My plan for this summer, while my kitchen is under renovation, was to grill different fish, meat and poultry and serve with fresh fruit salsas.  When I saw this Cherry Salsa recipe from Whole Foods, I thought it would be the perfect accompaniment to pork tenderloins with a chili dry rub; a staple at our house.

                 Cherry Salsa with Balsamic Vinegar and Basil
                                        a recipe from Whole Foods Market

• 2 cups sweet cherries, pitted and coarsely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped

     Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and refrigerate one hour before serving.
