2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon (or more to taste) favorite chili powder
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped (or about 2 tsp minced garlic from a jar)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Juice of 2 oranges, about 1/2 cup works well if you don't have fresh
Juice of 1/2 lemon, about 2-3 tablespoons works well if you don't have fresh
1 cup ketchup
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen pitted cherries, thawed (or around a cup is enough for a good flavor)
1/2 cup water ( or a little under)
Crushed or powdered red pepper (optional, to taste)
Add oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add onion, and garlic, and saute until onion is soft and translucent. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon chile powder, and tomato paste and toast for 1 minute. Add orange juice, lemon juice, ketchup, cherries, water, salt, and pepper (and red pepper for a little bit of kick at the end). Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Puree with a hand blender until smooth.
