• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped frozen, pitted cherries

• 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper

1. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add tomato sauce, cherries, brown sugar, orange juice, molasses, cider vinegar, ancho chili powder, mustard, salt, white pepper, and cayenne and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
