When a crate of cherries landed on our doorstep I knew two things, 1) I needed a cherry pitter and 2) I had to make Cherry Clafoutis. This recipe came drifting into my memory from a time long ago when I was visiting my aunt. A classic French dessert passed down from my grandmother, Cherry Clafoutis is surprisingly easy and can be made with any fresh berries or stone fruit in season. <\/p>\n

Each forkful brings you a creamy vanilla custard filling interlaced with the caramel flavours of roasted cherries. Cherries are a delicious superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and even melatonin for a restful nights sleep. No excuse to skip on dessert!<\/p>\n

You can pit your cherries with a stainless steel straw (just carefully push it through the cherry centre to push out the pit), or else if you have a ton like we did I recommend something like the OXO good grips cherry pitter<\/a>, and an apron!<\/p>\n
