It's one of the highlights of my year; in fact, if it were up to me, there would be a Christmas-type holiday in honor of the cherries and the corn that can't be far behind. My tradition is to go through a zillion recipe books, thinking I'll try something different this year, then end up making the classic cherry pie. Maybe I'll do a clafouti, too.

Consider yourself VERY lucky! I haven't had a sour cherry in years...sure do miss 'em. Sweet cherries are good (scored some organic ones last week!) but just not the same.

Enjoy!

I love sour cherry's. Had them in my previous house and I will plant a tree again this fall. I put them in jevenver (a bit like gin) with sugar, and store them for about six months. And then....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So delicious, but so dangerous. :D Let's say you'll taste them after your ride and not before. ;)

I had a piece left in my refrig when I flew back in town yesterday. Yummy. Will have to make another one. Unfortunately I'm having to use bing cherries. I'm just happy to get fresh cherries. Yumm!
