Cherry Desserts

June 15th, 2010 - by

Oh happy day! The day has finally come when fresh cherries are available in the grocery store.  I started spotting them 2 weeks ago and in the past 14 days have consumed 3 five pound bags of cherries (with my oldest daughter as an accomplice!).  They are incredibly delicious on their own–just simple unadulterated summer fruit.

But, if you are in the mood to bake with these lovelies, I’ve handpicked some recipes that look stellar and according to reviews…are stellar.  I plan on going through these myself while cherries are in season.  Must. Take. Advantage. While. I. Can.  Think Tart Cherry Crumb Cake with Cardamom and Almond, Cherry Clafoutis, and more.

View the recipes below:

    Hey, Steph!

    Thank you for the link! I kept thinking how much I needed one of those gadgets when I made a cherry clafoutis the other day.

    I came to Utah for my cousins wedding and we ate at Zupas while we were staying in Layton. I LOVED it! Your food was amazing, my new favorite place. I only wish you had one in Colorado! I think it would do great here because people are in to eating fresh and healthy!
