Don’t get me wrong, these cherries taste super on their own, but if you are on a serious cherry spree and keep looking for creative ways to cook or bake with them, roasting and caramelizing them in the oven is the way to go – and marinating them beforehand in a little Amaretto liqueur won’t hurt either…

Instead I turned to an old favorite of mine, easy and super quick to prepare, a lifesaving staple for your fridge. This is what happens when compound butter goes umami.
