Not sure where to post this; here is a selection of cherry based goodies that I made today (except the vodka that I made last year)

I can post the recipes if you want
ps stop drooling
Mmmmmm Michele, recipes would be very welcome as I have 5 cherry trees & although they are not ripe yet there is going to be loads of fruit this year. The cake looks wonderful. Two of my smaller trees are the Morello variety so I tend to preserve them in brandy & make cherry pies. I also have one which I planted in memory of my grandmother, it's much paler with huge cherries. It had a it's first crop last year & they were delicious.

The cherry jam and cherry vodka recipes are already on this site
The pickled cherries ( not tasted yet, just made to see)
900g stoned cherries
around 650g sugar (can go up: down depending on your syrup needs)
600ml white vinegar
zest of one orange and one lemon
cinnamon stick
(other sweet pickling spices as you wish; i used some cloves and mace)
pack the cherries into kilner jars; put into a preheated oven at 140° for one hour until just soft (obviously remove the rubber ring)
meanwhile heat all the other ingredients in a pan and once boiling boil for around 10 mins
strain and then allow to cool
when the cherries are ready, pour syrup over and then close with the seal on now
leave for one month then use
I am looking for a cherry sauce recipe now to eat with the abundant duck we have here!
Enjoy
Michele,
Thank you for the links & recipe. I am definitely going to try the cake the moment I can get my hands on some cherries. I will try to get some at the market this week as mine are far from ripe at the moment.

Mmm cherries, my favourite fruit I usually only like them fresh or in Clafoutis but having seen your cake...
I made a cherry clafoutis today to use up some black cherries that were getting over-ripe. It was lovely, but I think it would be even nicer with sharper, rather than sweet cherries.
