It's cherry harvesting time and farmers'
market, super markets or small grocery stores are overflowing with
summer's bounty of fresh cherries, variety of berries and stone
fruits. As cherry season is short we simply enjoy a bowl of sweet cherries, I bake tart "Cheesecake Tart With Cherry Topping" or pie and make cherry lemonade to cool down in the summer heat. This week I made a mildly sweet dessert, Cherry Clafoutis(pronounced "clafootee") which is a dense custard from Limousine region of France.
No matter how much I am trying not to complain about hot weather I just can't help it. The temperature is soaring high at 109 degrees Fahrenheit/43 degrees Celsius today and there is only way to cool off in the hottest weather to drink ice cold water, lemonades and juice all day long as much as possible.
It's a fun activity to pluck off sweet cherries from the tree. We went to a local U pick Cherry Orchard last Sunday. The farm grows Bing
and Rainier cherries, and a wide variety of berries. Berries were not
quite ready though. So we just had a bucket full of cherries and I knew I would
make some special treat for Father's Day. So here it is, Cheesecake Tart
With Cherry Topping. It's an easy to make egg less, low calorie quick tart topped with just sweet enough cherry sauce.
