Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 dried cayenne pepper, chopped (or about 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
• 1 cup pitted and halved fresh Bing cherries
• 1/2 cup whole fresh blueberries

Directions:

1. Mix the sugar, vegetable oil and salt together in a non-stick pan. Cook the mixture over low heat while stirring, until the sugar melts and the mixture caramelizes.
2. Add cayenne pepper and 1 clove of garlic. Cook for a few seconds.
3. Carefully deglaze the pan by pouring the red wine vinegar into the pan. Stir constantly. (There may be some spattering when you add the vinegar, so step back a bit and use a long-handled spoon to stir!)
4. When the sugar mass is nearly dissolved, add the bing cherries and blueberries. Raise the heat to medium and cook to thicken a bit, about 4 minutes.
5. Refresh the sauce with the remaining 2 cloves of garlic. Stir briefly and set aside.
6. Serve with your meat of choice!
