cherry clafouti

The grocery store had fresh sweet cherries on sale this week and of course I couldn't resist picking up a bag. Well, I discovered that the girls are just not fans of fresh cherries (especially when strawberries are an option). So what to do with a pound of fresh cherries?? I found this recipe for cherry clafoutis and decided to try it out.

The dish is something like a dutch baby with cherries studded throughout. I liked the addition of almond flavor (achieved by adding a glug of amaretto). The custardy pancake-like base was a good vehicle for the slightly tart, softened cherries. I think most people would eat this for breakfast, but we enjoyed it as a light dessert tonight.
