Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Fresh Sweet Cherries Pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Plus extra for garnish
  • 1 Baguette
  • 2/3 cup Fresh Goat Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Combine the prepared cherries with the balsamic vinegar, honey and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves in a medium bowl. Stir well, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • When ready to serve, cut the baguette into 12 slices. Toast each slice until crispy and lightly browned.

  • Serve immediately with the remaining marinade for bread-dipping.
