Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pit the fresh cherries, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 10-15 minutes, until they soften.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
  4. Step 4: Gently stir the caramelized cherries into the brownie batter until evenly distributed.
  5. Step 5: Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve warm.
