Cherry Hamburgers

June 14, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Your going to think one of three things of me, one, I’m really weird, two, pretty creative, three, that girl needs some serious help.  I probably need the serious help!   Now I know I was going to post a recipe that I made over the weekend that I loved, but I made this for dinner last night and I just had to share right away!  I really have no patience!

I know your probably thinking, what the heck is that?  What did she make now?  It’s kind of funny looking.  (giggle, giggle) This is my Friends is a Cherry Hamburger!  Yes I made Cherry Hamburgers and I”m pretty proud of them.  I was unsure at first, but I needed to use up some cherries and I, well I don’t need to explain it to you, I love fruit, I love cherries and I can eat them on just about anything!  So there!  (I’m sticking my tongue out at you).  Don’t judge me!!!  Your judging me aren’t you?


I made these using 96/4 ground beef, seasonings, jalapenos and some freshly chopped cherries.  I topped my burger with my Cherry Quick Jam and some of the balsamic glaze from Trader Joe’s.  I am so addicted to that glaze!  To save on calories I decided to use a 100 calorie Thomas English Muffin for my bun.  It worked out perfect.  Not too much bread and more meat and sauce.  Plus it really held together and didn’t fall apart.  I toasted my bun on the grill for some added crispness.  You ever notice when you make burgers they always shrink, so I decided to go smaller on the bun to fit the burger.  Each burger ways about 4.6 oz and has 250 calories including the English Muffin.

The flavor was wonderful on these burgers, sweet and savory with a kick of heat.  With the jalapenos and cherry mixture it really complimented each other.  My Cherry Jam isn’t really sweet, so you’re not getting a really sweet burger at all.  The balsamic glaze kicked up the flavor a notch.  My Husband, who I didn’t tell that there were cherries in the burgers really liked them.  He ate two and shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone, but so did I.  I loved this burger and I’m kind of sad that there are no left overs.

If you’re looking for a different spin on a traditional hamburger than this is a burger for you!  You have it all in here, sweet, spicy and savory.  I personally think you can’t go wrong with that combination.  If your into cheese, you may want to top your burger with some feta or goat cheese.  I debated about that, but decided not to at the last-minute.  So what do you think?  You think I’m weird don’t you?  I just can’t believe my Husband ate them!!  First time we didn’t have leftover burgers.

I hope you like my odd dinner and I hope it doesn’t change your opinion of me, unless it’s in a good way!  😉  I think sometimes you just need to be a little different and experiment with different flavors.  You never know what combination your just going to love!!   Plus it put a smile on my face, which we all could use on a Wednesday!!

I am off to clean my messy Kitchen, and boy is it a mess.  No one cleans it but me and sometimes it is too much.  Do you have rules in the house, that if you cook dinner than someone else does has to do the dishes?  That rule used to apply in my house, but it seems my family got lazy and they don’t care.  I swear they would wait for the dishes to hit the ceiling before they touched them.  I try to hold off and not do them, but it’s gross letting them sit. Thank you for letting me vent.

Off I go to clean!  Have a great Thursday!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I’m not judging, I promise! Actually it looks quite creative, unique, and delicious! I love cherries, probably more than just about any other fruit so I’ll come for lunch for sure if you’re serving these!

    I fall in the “I think you’re very creative” camp 🙂 “They” totally make a cherry chipotle sauce, so this isn’t out of line at all!! I would add a bit of goat cheese to mine – mmmmm!

    This is quite creative, Jennifer! But, I can see it tasting pretty good. I made red wine burgers recently and the fruity taste was really delicious with the burger so I bet the cherries are also really good!

    Hey!!
    I’m currently sautéing some cherries and onions in balsamic for the topping and have the cherry burgers formed into patties in the fridge to use in about an hour…

    My question was about the calories of the burger:
    Your recipe says the burger plus an english muffin is about 250 calories
    and just moments ago when I was assembling the burgers the package of lean ground beef said 240 calories for 4 oz.

    Which would mean with the english muffin I would have to tack on at LEAST 100 more calories…

    Is there something I’m missing here?!

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      July 24, 2013 at 3:54 PM

      Wow, my ground beef is 96% lean, I buy it at Trader Joe’s and it is 150 calories for 4oz. The English muffin is 100 calories with high fiber and protein. Hmmm, if you want to save calories, I would just eat the bottom half of the Engligh muffin and eat it opened faced. Just a suggestion. Either way the ground beef is a great for protein and the cherries and onions are just darn good and good for you too. I’m not sure what else to say.

    I’ve been using bourbon soaked cherries with hamburger and turkey burger for awhile. It’s a great combination.

    Going to have to try the glaze and balsamic on my next batch!

      Ohhh, I bet Bourbon soaked cherries are so good. I need to give that a try. Try the glaze on top, it adds an extra punch of flavor.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach

Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
