Brandied Cherries

I have a confession - I love those neon pink, corn syrup soaked maraschino cherries. Love them. We used to have them in our Shirley Temples growing up (remember those!!) which is where my love began. Not sure I should admit this but I may have been known to eat them straight from the little containers on a bar. Gross on a lot of levels I know. I also have a habit of stealing them from Luke's drinks when he is not looking. Classy. So when I first discovered brandied cherries last summer - I was in heaven. Sweet cherries that have been soaked in all sorts of boozy goodness with lots of spices.

Stone Fruit Salad with Burrata

You know what the secret to a delicious salad is? (Haven't you always wanted to know the answer to that burning question?) Adding something sweet. I know that kind of defeats the purpose of a healthy salad, but try it - everything will taste better. Can I point out how popular spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette was in the 90s? Exactly. Now I am not calling for sugar but a little honey in the vinaigrette didn't hurt anyone. What about adding fruit into your salad? Yeah? Neah? I think it is a complete yeah - especially with all of the delicious stone fruit that is coming into season. Combine that with some creamy and dreamy burrata and you are in salad heaven. This stone fruit salad with burrata will make you completely forget that you are actually eating something healthy. I know that is a big claim but try it and I promise you will love it.
