Cherries are a fruit, related to peaches or plums, and originated in the Old World between Asia and Europe.  Some are sour while other are sweet.  The sweet cherries are best eaten when fresh, which is how I like them best.  In regards to preserved varieties, maraschino is the most well-known of all, which was developed in Italy and some Balkan areas.  The traditional way of preserving these fruits involved the use of liquor, but industry has converted this process into something much different than what it once was.  The less colorful varieties are now preferred, being preserved first in a brine and then processed with a sugar syrup, to then have some sort of coloring added.  This sort of process doesn’t retain many of the cherry’s nutritional properties, which is used in the most popular preserves that fill chocolates or adorn chocolate cakes.

That’s why we are going to focus on the fresh fruit, which is delicious and low-calorie without any additional sugar.  The pigments are a source of antioxidants that care for the body during natural wear.  Anthocyanins, which are cherry’s pigments, also have an anti-inflammatory effect which helps the body’s immune system, and provides so much of the incredibly important vitamin C, which helps pull us through wintry times.  Fresh cherries do not require any sort of preparation in order to be enjoyed.  There are also perfect for using in symbolic pastries as Valentine’s Day grows near.  Here are a few recipes you can enjoy with cherries.

  2. Grease a round baking pan with butter.  Spread the cherries out onto the pan and evenly pour the batter over it.
  3. Bake for 40 minutes at 180? C or until a toothpick can be cleanly inserted and removed from the center.  Once done baking, allow to cool and sprinkle a bit of sugar glass over the clafoutis.  Enjoy.

Dough

  1. In a food processor, add the flour, butter and sugar.  Process all ingredients until creating a mixture somewhat similar to that of breadcrumbs.  Then add one egg and process little by little until the dough turns uniform and smooth.  Once done, refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour.
  2. Divide the dough into two parts and spread both parts over a floured surface, making it about 7 cm in diameter.
  3. Grease the tort pan, placing one of the rolled-out dough pieces in it.  Cut off the excess dough that hangs over the pan.  Add the filling along with a few pieces of cream cheese.
  4. Cover the pan with the other section of dough, and squeeze the edges to seal the tort.  To finish, varnish the tort’s surface with the remaining egg.
  5. Make an incision in the center of the tort to let the vapor out, so that the filling doesn’t overflow.
  6. Bake at 200? C for 30 minutes.  After that time reduce the temperature to 180? C and bake for 15 minutes until the dough turns golden.
  7. Serve hot or cold.  Adding a scoop of ice cream is always a good accompaniment.

    Perfect timing on the recipes! I found them just in time to get the cherry tart made, and they turned out great! This was a wonderful recipe, and I definitely don’t think you should wait for Valentine’s day to make it, it would be wonderful in early summer when all the cherry trees are ripe and producing fruit!
