Backyard Cherries

Every year in May, just around the time of Seth's birthday and Mother's Day, we would hope to be able to pick the cherries before the birds ate them. The crop seems to vary from year to year, from a handful to a few pounds.

Using one pound of the fresh cherries, I made a cherry- almond clafouti, which was really delicious.
