Great, a real french receipe in USA … and you have all of it right, it’s so much better with pits. In fact, there is 2 camps in France : avec or sans pits, and it’s a fierce battle between the two of them

Merci pour les recettes.

No problem with the cherry crop here in Washington, and my husband just bought a whole BOX of Rainiers at the farmer’s market yesterday. How cool, a recipe that avoids pitting at least one pound of them. I love clafouti but never thought of making a cherry one. Sue, I don’t know about the almond meal, though it’s true the almond flavor would be nice, and it would then be gluten-free and grain free if one of those things matters to you. Report back if you try it, I’ll follow this thread and I’d be interested to know whether that works.

I should say that the damage was to the cherry crops in Michigan…

Beccy, your dad was telling me that according to the news, 97 per cent of the cherry crop this year was lost due to frost damage, so that could explain the lack of cherries and the very high price of those that are for sale. But I do have some lovely German bottled cherries from Trader Joe’s that are begging to be used, and I do have some almond flavoring, so I think I will try that. Question…no heavy cream, but I have light cream and whole milk. What do you think about 3/4 c. light cream and 1/4 c. milk?

Woah. I picked a doozy to leave out! Thank you for the heads up. The recipe has been fixed above. The milk and cream are whisked in after the sugar/salt/vanilla but before the flour.

I have a bunch of cherries waiting for a purpose. And I don’t even have to mess with pitting them! YUM!
