Summer is still a long way but the sunny weather from the past few weeks here in Nice, has really put people in a happy mood, eager to enjoy life outside of the house.
In my case, a blue sky and plenty of sunshine makes me want to jump in the kitchen and prepare dishes with plenty of vegetables or fruits. That's why I started craving for a cherry clafoutis earlier today.
But as we can not find any fresh cherries at this time of the year, I have tried a clafoutis that you can make all year round namely with pitted sour cherries out of a jar. And for sure, it was a great success! Those cherries have been stored in a sugary juice and will give an extra kick to this dessert.
Slighty warm, light and puffy and at the same time the right balance between sour and sweet ... a nice sour cherry clafoutis with coffee for dessert or even breakfast... hmmm...but let's stop daydreaming and let's start baking!!!!

I have made so many variations of clafouti to date, and I have yet to try the traditional cherry. Using pitted jarred cherries is brilliant!

This looks refreshing and refreshingly simple to make! Question...Do you have any recommendations for the cherry-type? I live in France and there seems to be a marvelous variety of "types"...Thank you for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, I have to admit I bought the jarred sour cherries in a rather small shop, here in the South of France, they did not have any other varieties. I can't really remember what was written on the jar but I will have a look and get back to you after my shopping trip on Saturday. :-) Hope you are having a great time in France
