Cherry Burgers


This may not be the prettiest burger (especially when plopped atop a “bed” of sweet potato “fries”), but it sure is the yummiest burger we’ve ever made.

(Adapted from Eating Well)

12 oz. lean ground grass-fed beef

½ cup dried cherries, finely chopped

½ cup breadcrumbs of your choosing (see step 1 of this recipe for instruction on making your own)

1 large clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1. Preheat grill, broiler or skillet.

2. Combine beef, cherries, breadcrumbs, garlic, vinegar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl.

3. Form into patties.

4. Grill or broil until center registers 160° (5-6 minutes per side on a grill, 3-4 minutes per side under the broiler).

*To make oven-baked sweet potato fries, follow our recipe for regular fries (using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, obviously). Sprinkle with brown sugar.
