Roasted Cherries
Roasting fruits with vinegar, chilli, and a little sugar is one of my favourite kitchen hacks. Perfect for any excess fruit, fruit without much flavour, or fruit that's been hiding in the fridge for too long. In summer, I roast cherries often - to eat with cheeses, to serve with grilled meats, to toss through salads or grains, and to make the most insane cheese toasties.
It's really easy - just splash a little vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, and spices over the fruits. All you need is a baking tray, a hot oven, and 20 minutes. Roast until the cherries are oozy, full of flavour, and a little caramelised on the edges.

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, or more if needed
1 tbsp brown sugar, or more if needed

Cornersmith's tips
Experiment with other fruits like grapes, peaches, pear, or apple wedges. And feel free to switch out the chilli for other spices like paprika, cumin, or sumac.
