Here's what you need:
2 10 3/4 oz. cans cherry filling
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon basil, dried
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 French bread, loaf, cut into 3/4-inch slices


Here's how to make it:

In a medium saucepan, combine cherry filling, onion, basil and oregano; mix well. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat 5 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly and flavors are blended. Let cool to room temperature.

In a small bowl, combine garlic and olive oil. Brush both sides of each bread slice with oil mixture; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil, 4 to 5 inches from the heat, 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Top each slice of bread with a generous tablespoon of cherry mixture. Serve immediately as an appetizer or first course.
