Surinam cherry is an exotic fruit that adds a unique burst of flavor to traditional dishes. Here are five delicious recipes where it takes center stage.
1. Surinam Cherry Salsa – Start by chopping up tomatoes, red onions, and jalapenos. Then mix in some diced Surinam cherries for a sweet, tangy flavor. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or as an accompaniment to grilled meats.
2. Surinam Cherry Glazed Salmon – For this dish, you’ll need 4 salmon fillets, olive oil, salt and pepper, and a jar of Surinam cherry sauce. Brush the salmon with oil and season it with salt and pepper before baking it in the oven. Then, when the fillets are almost cooked through, brush them with the Surinam cherry sauce for a sweet glaze.
3. Surinam Cherry Barbecue Sauce – A great go-to for grilled meats, this sauce combines ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and a jar of Surinam cherry preserves in one savory mix.
4. Surinam Cherry Cobbler – This comforting dessert starts with a layer of sliced fresh or frozen fruit such as peaches or apples. Then, top it with a mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and Surinam cherries. Finally, add your favorite biscuit dough on top before baking in the oven.
5. Surinam Cherry Ice Cream – This unique take on classic ice cream combines sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, and crushed Surinam cherries. It’s the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.
