See my recipe for 'Cassis' in this forum. Just replace blackcurrant for cherries. Other than that same principle.

Happy time!...

Benson, fancy something totally different?  How about cherry salsa?  Terrific with grilled meats, chicken and cold cuts.

225g fresh cherries (stoned & halved)

1 small onion chopped finely

1 small red pepper deseeded and chopped finely

1 fat red chilli deseeded and chopped finely

juice of one lime

1 tbsp of chopped coriander

Mix all the above in a bowl with a drizzle of top quality olive oil.  Season with salt and ground black pepper.  Best if made a couple of hours in advance.

Here's another, though I haven't tried it, a cherry version of traditional tarte tatin.

 

Melt 75g butter in pan with 50g brown sugar.

Pour into non-stick shallow 20cm flan dish.

Arrange 450g stoned weight of cherries in base of dish.

Cut circle of ready-rolled puff pastry, slightly bigger than dish.

Lay pastry over cherries.  Press down, tucking sides down inside dish.

Bake in preheated oven gas 6, 200C for 20 mins or until pastry is risen and golden.

To turn out: place serving plate over dish, hodling dish and plate with a cloth, invert.

Tatin will (should?) come out right way up with fruit on top.
