  1. This was amazing! It's unusual and easy to make. I used 4 cups of sugar as my cherries were already pretty sweet. I think I'd use even less next time. I was unable to get this to jell, so I ended up adding Pomona's.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I returned to Maine after five years in Paris, and now work from home as a graphic designer and artist. Food for me is a vector of culture, an art form, an opportunity to paint with flavors. Far beyond mere sustenance, it's a language, a vehicle for expression. I love to invent, create, and draw inspiration from my multicultural past and travels. I forage for alot of ingredients, grow some, use farmers markets, and as much as possible try to keep my foods "real".
