Christie's Favourites: Cherries

Christie’s Favourites: Cherries

December 14th, 2008 · 9 Comments

So many recipes, so little time!

I thought a good way to keep track of all the gorgeous recipes I find everyday at my favourite food blogs was to start posting a weekly round up featuring a theme ingredient.

That way I can share my discoveries with you and save a load of bookmarks for myself. Clever, huh?

If you (or I) ever want to find a particular archived ingredient in this series, the nifty little search bar in the top right hand corner will prove very helpful.

This week’s ingredient is CHERRIES.

Here we go:

Pickled sour cherries by the wonderful David Lebovitz sound absolutely moreish. If only they were easier to get hold of fresh here in Oz!

The always inspiring Jaden from Steamy Kitchen has my heart with her Persian sour cherry saffron rice. So many drool worthy ingredients in one dish should be illegal.

Nicole at Pinch my salt certainly got my attention with her Mini cherry cheesecakes, the photo is adorable, the way the sauce dribbles onto the plate…

I’m always jealous of Deb at Smitten Kitchen’s photos and her Coconut PinkCherry yoghurt ones are no exception.

The gorgeous Lorraine from Not Quite Nigella showcases her expertise with combining flavours with the delicious Chocolate Sorbet with Sour Cherries. Yum!

I love the name of this recipe by Clotilde at Chocolate & Zucchini Swimming Cherries with Hazelnut Rosemary tuiles.

I’m also a fan of peaches so Food Blogga’s Fresh Cherry and Peach Upside Down Cake really appeals to me. It looks so moist!

Have you got a favourite cherry recipe? Leave me a link in the comments.

Happy eating, Christie

Thanks for the shout out sweetie! I wonder what next week’s will hold The other dishes look fantastic, luckily I’ve never met a cherry that I didn’t like

Great list, I love cherries but always end up eating them all out of hand. The next time they are in season here I will buy a huge batch and try out some of this recipes.
