Cherries Galore!

It's cherry season and the trees are producing a bumper crop this year. A neighbor dropped off a bucket of them yesterday. These are on the sour side so no just eating them like a Bing or Rainier cherry.

Cherries, Cherries & More Cherries

This evening, I taught myself to pit cherries and I made my first ever fresh cherry pie.

Fresh Cherry Pie

I'll have to let you know how the pie tastes tomorrow. It's for dinner with my mom and her traveling friends. They are in the Seattle area for a few days. We'll be chowing down on Maui Ribs, Vegetable Rice Pilaf and Cherry Pie tomorrow night.

I've still got half of a bucket left of cherries. Now to decide what to fix next! Leave me your ideas in the comments or email me your favorite recipe. My email address is the bar to the right.

What to do with the rest?
