Need Cherry Recipes Please!

[Raene]

Anyone have good ones? Our neighbor has a cherry tree and put a sign on their fence that said "YES, Please pick the cherries" so we went last night and picked a fair amount. They're very tart on their own. Any recipes to make em taste better?

you could make a jam by pureeing them with dried sweet cherries and agave. then you could use that as a filling in a pie or on raw bread with nut butter. or an ice cream topping. mm. or you could send them my way.

I made fruit leather by mixing them with some sweetener. I also tried it by mixing them with peaches but the peaches drowned out the cherry flavor.

I want to have the fruit leather for this winter when I miss cherries.

How about chocolate covered cherries?

I did this about year ago with strawberries too.

Take some raw cacao and grind it up really good. Add water and almond milk and vanilla and agave nectar. Keep it liquidy.

Pit cherries (try to keep stem on) if you want and than dip cherries in cacao mixture and put on plate and stick in freezer.

You could also marinate the cherries first in an agave marinate to get them sweet (sort of like marachino cherries).


Yum!

I would do cherry yoghurt with raw honey or agave.. would use almonds or cashew (for a more creamy) yoghurt..

yum!, make a knickerbocker glory type dish with them also.. cherry sauce, vanilla ice cream, cherry ice cream some crumbled chocolate brownie.. topped with fresh cherries....ooo :)

can't speak for dancer, but i blend the nuts, sweetener and fruit in a high speed blender until warm. add probiotic powder and blend a little more. pour into a container and let it sit out in a warm place overnight. then refrigerate and use within a few days.
