Perhaps one of my favorite recipes for Presidents Day is the Handmade Cherry Pie. The recipe, using a little red wine, was provided by the Northwest Cherry Growers and is available online.
The Northwest Cherry Growers website has numerous recipes with a few that use wine as an ingredient. Another delicious sounding recipe that I can’t wait to try is the Grilled Salmon Cherry Sauce that calls for a half cup of white wine.
The recipe is below.
Enjoy,
