Luckymama Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I faced the reality of 22 pounds of cherries :eek: What were dd and I thinking as we picked that many Thursday morning????????????????? So far I have a bunch in the dehydrator, made a batch of jam, made a pie, froze pie filling for the dead of winter, and just froze some pitted. Tomorrow I will make some preserves for pastry baking and will probably make at least another batch of jam. Dh is campaigning for a sorbet. Care to share your favorite cherry recipes?

Slartibartfast Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 *drools* I wish I had 22 lbs of cherries. I need to check and see if there is a pick-your-own place around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the cherry and pepper season don't align (our peppers are all teensy tiny still) so I'll have to see if I can find decent looking peppers.

PinkyandtheBrains. Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Old fashioned baked cherry pudding. There are several recipe options if you google it. Yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The one year our cherry tree gave us a bumper crop I froze some for smoothies. That was quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have a cherry pitter/olive pitter from William Sonoma. It is useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come out just fine!! My cherries are pie cherries (sour) if that make a difference. BTW I would LOVE to have cherries --- my tree has been stripped clean three years in a row (birds, birds, hail) and it is so dry now,,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahliarw Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Cherry marmalade! It's in one of the ball canning books. I also have made my own homemade maraschino cherries. For the person who was asking, I got a nice pitter on amazon, it's one of the ones that feeds them through: http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Deluxe-Cherry-Pitter-Suction/dp/B002HEXSWE/ref=sr_1_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1371958192&sr=1-3&keywords=cherry+pitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Can I get a cobbler and some turnovers? Or are you the kind of person who doesn't share? No pressure . . . but I'm hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamzanne Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I am going to pick on Monday! One year I picked 80 lbs and we ate most of them fresh! Cherries are my absolute favorite. I always make cherry sorbet and cherry ice cream with chocolate chunks. Then I serve a scoop of each together. It is so indulgent and I look forward to it all year! Cherry sorbet is so time intensive for what you get but it is worth it, so I agree with your husband! I like to freeze them for smoothies and this year hope to can some. Here is a tutorial I found.

Momof3littles Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I was at a cool old farm auction yesterday and a nice old one sold for $2! I don't buy cherries in bulk often enough to justify one, but I kind of wish I had bought it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
