I have no help for the sour cherry situation. Do you however have the Flower Sugar cloth on order from Lecien? I want some of that
fabric when available. Thanks and good luck with the cherries.
If they are Rainier variety, just eat them….who needs pie!

I didn’t use mine to make a pie, but I did make great brown butter cherry bars.

I included a double crust cherry tart recipe with my tie-one-on submission here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/angrychicken/3676664413/
The cornmeal shortbread crust is just wonderful and it’s not too sweet but very delicious! Came from the June 2005 Sunset I think.

Kathy, I’m not a cherry expert, but I surely love the photo of the cherries in the colander.

Oh, how I’d love to live where fresh cherries grow! I don’t have a recipe, but I do have fond memories of my mom baking cherry pie for Washington’s birthday, and telling the sweet story of his famous episode with the cherry tree. I never tasted a fresh cherry until I was an adult. Wonderful!!!

_Joy of Cooking_ ; if I could only have one cookbook, this, would be it!

Adjust sugar to the sweetness of the fruit in all fruit pie receipes. Cherrie sweet? Less sugar..

This is my mothers recipe for a wonderful Kirschkuchen, matching to your german cherry pitter, hope you find a translation for the kg and the Celsius??
200g Butter, 200g sugar, 4-5 eggyolks: stirr.
Add: 1 pinch salt, 250g flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 tablespoon milk, 4-5 beaten eggwhites.
Add cherries, about 500g or more. Bake at 200°C for 45 min. (depending on how high your baking form is).
Dust with powder sugar. Enjoy!!

Best, Katharina from Germany
