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.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.

What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days.

I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!
