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 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.

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
