This one was home made, from the Paleo cookbook. Basically, mint, walnuts, olive oil, and lemon juice. I used a smaller amount than the recipe and we still had some left over.

Hey Catrin don't know much about your store, but I just repackage the cherries into a smaller bag and then only pay for the poundage.Quote:

(I maybe had 15 cherries in the last batch I made, so I didn't even bother to pit them and just fished the pits out as the fruits fell apart.) Instant sauce for ice cream or frozen yogurt. I imagine it would be good on Greek yogurt with some toasted almonds, but I haven't tried it yet.Quote:
