So, yesterday I mentioned that I won a giveaway from The Hungry Housewife that included a jar of the stuff above. I also mentioned that I LOVE tart cherries. My grandparents had a tart cherry tree when I was little and there were more than a few times that I made myself sick on those heavenly little treasures.
I actually got my prize package in the mail yesterday not long after that post. I really didn't have high hopes for these preserves. Lately I have been convincing myself that something I am about to try is going to be phenomenal and it ends up not being so. I didn't want to get my hopes up only to have them be dashed again. I knew they would be good, but I didn't think it would be possible that they would blow my mind or anything.
I was SO wrong. They are fantastic. In fact, fantastic is not enough to describe how good they are.
I put some on a thin piece of regular toast this morning and I feel guilty now for using simple toast as a vehicle for this scrumptious treat. (People who know me know that I mean business because I am not a fan of the word "scrumptious" and can count on one hand the number of times I have used the word. Most of those while expressing my distaste for it.) My mission is to find something to top these with that is worthy of their greatness. Though, I really could just eat them with a spoon and be happy the rest of my life.
I am not sure if stores around here carry these. I didn't know the existed until now and I am not usually in the jelly/jam section of my grocery. But if you enjoy tart cherries and you come across these preserves, grab some. You will not be disappointed. Another plus is that they are only 50 calories per tablespoon and a tablespoon packs enough flavor to go a long way!
