One reader said: "Thank you for the recipe. I needed a guide to making a cherry jalapeno based marinade since I had so many cherries. I added some stuff: a Serrano for more heat, fresh garlic, powdered onion, black pepper, a little soy sauce, and a little fish sauce. I cooked down the remaining marinade for use as a sauce.
