Peppered-Cherry Vinaigrette

By Eliot, on September 25th, 2015%

I hope the hyphenated adjective above describes this recipe a bit better. I felt totally inadequate with my Cherry-Pepper Jelly and I know that I led some readers astray thinking that I had made a preserve with cherry peppers (instead of jalapenos and dried cherries).
