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.
It's melon mania time at Sigona's! The best cantaloupe of the season is now available from Turlock. They're grown by the Smith family who have grown melons for more than 100 years. They're fourth generation farmers and they know how to grow the best!
These are picked full slip, meaning they come off the vine naturally when they're perfectly ripe, flavorful and sweet. These have a very thin rind so it's almost all fruit!
