Cherries!

Something a little sweet for you.

I shared a case of yummy sweet bing cherries with a friend that we got through Bountiful Baskets.

One bag, was eaten fresh out of the bag.

The first thing I made was cherry sherbet

Very very yummy.  I doubled the recipe. A single batch was maybe enough for everyone to have one bowl.  The double batch only made a regular size batch of ice cream, which is about 2 quarts, so I didn't go over board with this one.  Although it is such a big big hit, I should have made another, double, batch!

Such a wonderful rich color!  Mmmmm.....Mmmmmmm.....good!  I got the recipe from  The Pioneer Woman. She has fabulous pictures and easy directions to follow. And I did follow the directions, for the most part.


I filled a jelly roll pan and froze a bunch for future yummies.
I used the water that I kept the pitted cherries in to make cherry juice. The kids loved it and nothing went to waste!


And I made a lovely cherry crisp.  First cooking the cherries into a canned cherries consistency.

I only wish I had more to dehydrate. 

Hope your Sunday is as sweet as these cherry goodies were.
