Cherry Season = Clafoutis

Oh, yes! My son brought home fresh cherries and shared. Right off the tree. I love ripe cherries!

But I can only eat so many in one day and I didn’t want to waste them. What to do with the rest?

Clafoutis! Just in time I found this easy clafoutis recipe. Custardy, yummy, and filled with lots of cherries. Mmmm.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

I still have some cherries left.

Haiku Moment: spring waltz

ruffles dance graceful

beneath bower and sunshine-

spring waltz and hurrah

pink snowfall gently

whirls, flutters, pirouettes, rests

ethereal gown
