Sweet Cherry Relish on Goat Cheese Crostini

Cherry Relish and Goat Cheese Crostini <3

It’s easy to get creative in the kitchen at the lake

with so many fresh ingredients a short bike ride away!

♥

Cherries rarely make it past the kitchen counter

where they’re scooped up by the handful when anyone walks by…

♥

I tend to linger at the counter… hoovering, hovering over the cherries,  my gluttonous mouth gorging, as I reassure myself that they are incredibly healthy because they taste so sweet and fresh.

Then memories and new recipe ideas burst their way through my cherry-induced coma and into my imagination.

A few summers ago my lakeside friend, Shaunna, divulged a recipe for a Cherry Relish…

{ and, of course, I had left it at home! }

So straight from a mouthful of ambrosia, a pinch of a memory and a splash of something different, here is a fresh new “just a smidgen” take on that

Sweet Cherry Relish on Goat Cheese Crostini

Best of all, it’s easy to make.. as all good “Lake Recipes” should be!

{ If cherries are no longer in season, poor you.. you’ll just have to tuck this one aside for next summer! }

Here is the finished…

It could even pass as lunch or a light supper, n’est-ce pas?
