We can’t seem to get enough of the cherries this season, and the prices have been really good too! I was bringing dessert to a BBQ at a friend’s house recently and made the following “Cherry Crunch”, which combined two recipes from my Joy of Cooking cookbook: cherry pie filling and cherry crunch pastry. Filling – mix 3 cups pitted fresh cherries, ½ cup of sugar, 2 TBSP of quick cooking tapioca, ½ TBSP of lemon juice, 1 TBSP water, and 1/8 tsp almond extract in a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes while you mix the dough. Mix the pastry dough while you wait: ½ cup melted butter, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup oatmeal, ¼ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt. Grease an 8x8 pan and pat half the pastry dough the bottom. Top with the cherry mixture, and then layer the remaining pastry dough on top. Bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Best served warm with ice cream – delicious!
