Roasted Cherry Brownies
Roasted cherries elevate any brownie recipe or mix! These brownies can be served alone or in a sundae with vanilla ice cream and Cherry Port Sauce.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound fresh cherries (stems and pits removed, cut in half or quartered)
- 1/4 cup port wine
- Your favorite brownie mix
- Ingredients to prepare brownie mix according to package directions (oil, eggs, water, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place cherries in a small baking dish with the port. Roast for 30 minutes, until the cherries are very soft and the port has slightly reduced (you'll have 2 - 3 tablespoons of liquid). Set the cherries aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare brownies according to package directions, reducing oven heat according to your brownie recipe.
- As the last step in making the brownie batter, stir in the cherries and accumulated juices and then transfer to the baking pan. Bake until a knife inserted in the center of the brownies comes out with moist crumbs attached.
