Tart cherries! [View all]

I picked and cleaned about two quarts of them tonight. Ugh. Pitting them wasn't so hard just time consuming. Most are in the freezer so I can look for good recipes for small batch stuff like jams or fruit bars later.

My buddy has a tree, should have picked them earlier but it's been too hot to be in the sun and picking cherries. I did manage to get these today as it was cool this evening but that left me with a late start on processing. But I got it done.

I have never used them before so I have been looking at recipes online and haven't decided what to make yet.

Anybody got any good recipes?
