Yummy! I was trying to use up some cherries in my frig, and this was the perfect dessert for that! I'm just thinking about another piece tomorrow night with a nice cup of hot tea...great comfort food after work! -
Perfect for when you only have the basics in your larder. Just stodgy enough to be comforting but not overly so. Also Surpising low in fat. Printed out and filed for much further use! -
Easy and delicious. I will definitely make this again. -
I don't understand why you'd use unpitted cherries? I actually used a bag of frozen cherries with excellent results. This is one of my favorite desserts. Thank you! Made for PAC '07.

I learned to cook at a very early age, and like my teacher (mother) I am famous for cooking without recipes. This habit makes for unique delicious *unrepeatable* meals. My plan is to use this site in a way that neither my mother or myself have ever learned to use paper and pen; to record my "concoctions" for posterity.
