| I just picked up a pint of sour cherries at the farmer's market. Any ideas of what to do with them? I am not a pie baker. |

Sour Cherry Pudding -
1 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter Cream these together until smooth 2 eggs 3/4 cup milk 1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp. Baking Powder 1 pint sour cherries OR blueberries (washed and pitted) Mix all together and put in an 8 or 9 inch round pan that has the bottom sprayed or buttered. Bake 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes Check by toothpick in center coming out clean. Cool and cut into wedges -served with sugar and milk |
| I'm pitting and freezing the pint I picked up today because it is too hot right now to cook with them! |
| Make a compote. Very versatile topping for ice cream, pancakes, what have you. |
| I make a cherry sauce for chicken or pork with sour cherries, apple juice, and brandy. It's delish. |
| a pie!! |
| Just eat them. |
| Soak in Armagnac. Layer in parfait glass with meringue cookies, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. |
| What were you planning to do with them when you bought them? |
| look up "vareninki"-Russian dumplings made with sour cherries-so good-basic dumpling dough with the cherries inside, boil and serve with sour cream |
| If you're not a pie baker, make a cherry crumble with them. |
| Sorbet! |
| Bake a clafoutis. |
Yikes! Too tart! |
| Pie! Cherry pie is my favorite. |
