Fresh Cherry & Balsamic Sauce (For Duck or Chicken)
Duck and cherries are a classic combination, one you’re likely to find gracing the menu at most Michelin-star-rated restaurants during cherry season. Now you can make it in the comfort of your very own home! Recipe courtesy of Luisa Ormonde of Luisa’s Catering in San Carlos. Luisa, a longtime customer of Sigona’s, suggests serving this over a whole roasted duck or whole roast chicken.

Instructions
In medium sauté pan, melt butter. Add onions, sprinkle with a little salt and sugar, and sauté until lightly caramelized. Add fresh thyme and cherries and sauté a few more minutes. Deglaze the pan with balsamic, stock and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any brown bits. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce until thickened. Keep sauce warm until ready to serve.
Citrus season is still rolling in California! These Gold Nugget mandarins from the Ojai Valley near Santa Barbara are simply fantastic!
At Ojai Matilija Ranch, each piece of fruit is hand-selected at the height of its ripeness and flavor, and any damaged fruit is removed immediately. These seedless mandarins are only available through the months of April and May, so grab them while they’re still here!
Robbie Sigona, director of Sigona's Farmers Market, with stores in Redwood City and Palo Alto, Calif., shops seasonally to always bring in the freshest produce available.
