Lesson learned.

Do you adore Greek Yogurt as much as I do? Pronounced Fa-yeh, Fage O% is my top pick. Low sugar (7g), fat free, high protein (20 grams per cup).
But I really adore their low fat product with cherry sauce. Significantly higher fat (12 g), sugar (16 g) and substantially lower protein (8 g). I've been known to drive three towns away just to find a full case. Others, it seems, are equally in love.

Now no one needs to make the trek.
Since fresh cherries are everywhere this month, I searched for a low-sugar jam/conserve/recipe. Each involved more time than I was willing to take. Instead I pitted/a cinch with a cherry pitter/and chopped/in Cuisinart/several small batches for the freezer.
Stirred into O%, there's far less sugar and much more protein than the Cherry Fage. Not rocket science, I know, but I've finally found a simple solution to something that’s been adding inches to my waist. Small steps, it turns out, have significant impact.
So how'd it turn out? HORRIBLE. DISGUISTING. TERRIBLE. Flavorless/stripped of vibrant color. Researching alternatives. Will share successes. Soon, I hope.
Perhaps the smartest solution is this: enjoy everything while it's in season. Pretty simple strategy.
