Kitchen waste can be great resources if reused correctly. There are myriad ways to reuse food parts that until recently no one thought were useful.
Fruit is an excellent example. Citrus peels are useful ingredients in many recipes. Peeled lemons can also be used to make jam. Finally, banana peels are a great help both at home and in the garden.
Between spring and summer, there is another fruit that appears on the tables: it is the cherry. Sweet and delicate, it is almost impossible to stop eating it. Speaking of cherries, you usually eat the pulp and throw away the small stone . Yet even this part could prove useful for a very specific purpose.
An ingredient not to be overlooked
Cherry stones can be used in cooking in many ways. You can prepare a flavored vinegar that is perfect for seasoning many dishes. They are also used to make a delicious seasonal liqueur or to prepare a refreshing drink . What you think is just a waste could be transformed into a very useful ingredient.
Save the cherry stones because they are an essential ingredient for this very important preparation.
Who would have ever imagined that you could use cherry stones to prepare a tasty side sauce? Well, that’s what I’m about to prepare for you. It is the perfect accompaniment to a red meat dish or as a condiment for an appetizing summer salad.
