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!

      I thought about goat cheese, but skipped out cheese in general, but next time for sure! 🙂

    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.

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is 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 Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that.

I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.

Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal.

I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.

I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off.

Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area.

What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
