Cherry, the stuff of Neil Diamond songs and the pride of Traverse City, Michigan, shines here, with its subtle sweetness and wonderful flavor. It gets mixed with balsamic vinegar, so a bit more sweet and a whole lot more tang, and then placed on top of a succulent pork chop. They got the ways to groove us, cherries. (Sorry, Neil.)
