Cherry season is one of the shortest of all fruits. Maybe that's what makes them so appealing. I just realized today that I have not done a spotlight post on cherries before. So here we go. Enjoy this roundup of 14 sweet, savory, and tart recipes.
This recipe reminds me of my Dad. He loved a good old fashion, and always put extra cherries in it. Tip: use a high quality bourbon, as it is a key player in this drink.
Love a fruit added to a savory salad? I certainly do. This salad sounds delicious on it's own, but could also be used as a relish for grilled meats and fish.

Oh my, don't these look wonderful? It almost feels as if you are having brownies for breakfast. If you worry about sugar consumption, the refined stuff has been swapped out for maple syrup. That's a good thing!
