Summer 2009 - Cherries
Jul 1st, 2009

Washington is experiencing a bumper crop of 2009 cherries. Our backyard tree joined the party and this is just one day’s bounty that I picked last week. The crows, deer and Rocky, our resident racoon, generally get to every last one the minute they ripen. This year there’s enough for all of us.

This cool little cherry pitting machine came from the Martha Stewart catalog many years ago. I only use it a couple times a year but absolutely LOVE it.
Now I need your help. I made a cherry pie with these cherries but did not like the recipe one bit (waaayyyy tooooo sweet). Any recommendations for a good cherry pie recipe?
