When I get too many cherries, I do freeze them. Have an evening sitting on paper in front of the tv, pitting. Then I freeze. And eat frozen cherries when it is really hot.

Good lord--I just saw on my sister's facebook that she and my mother were picking up supplies for my mother's TWO NEW DOGS. WTF???

We had people over for dinner. Two adults and their 6 year old twins.
Now I remember why we don't have people over for dinner. It was very nice, but the kids were insane - loud, crazy, wild. And poor Dillo always left out. And the ice cream didn't freeze. I am so tired.
(Cherries probably freeze well - pit, halve, and put on cooky sheets until frozen, then to ziplocks.)

Duck (or chicken) or pork in cherry-port reduction. Yum.

I just realized since I only eat them plain or make clafoutis, I've never really pitted cherries.

If I'm pitting, I'm also cutting half.

I need cherry ideas people!
Please make brandied cherries. I need them to make Manhattans. So much better than maraschino cherries.

I'm assuming that would involve brandy?

Okay, Round 1 of cooking is done. Chicken stock is in the slow-cooker, cauliflower chick pea curry is on the stove, and cherry clafoutis is in the oven. The strawberry syrup ended up more like compote (but way-too-sweet compote), so I'll do some of the cherries the same way but without sugar and mix them.
Next up, lentil salad with bacon, mmmm, bacon.
