Sour cherries and rhubarb share a lively tartness, but each brings something different to the jar. Cherry gives the spread its deep fruit character; rhubarb adds a sharper edge that makes a useful contrast with creamy or rich foods.
A bright addition to breakfast
Try a small spoonful on toast with cream cheese, swirl it into plain yogurt, or serve it beside pancakes and crepes. Keep the spread separate when setting a breakfast table so everyone can choose how much sweetness and tartness to add.
Pair it with cheese
The fruit works especially well against the saltiness of cheese. Put a little beside a soft, creamy cheese or an aged cheese and taste them together before adding other accompaniments. A plain cracker or piece of bread leaves room for both flavors.
Use it beyond breakfast
Spoon the spread over a cooled cheesecake, layer it into a yogurt dessert, or use it as a finish for a simple bowl of ice cream. For a salad dressing, loosen a small amount with olive oil and a little lemon juice, tasting as you go.
