Hi Pam. A couple (few?) years ago, you posted a recipe for cherry clafoutis so I could use up an abundance of cherries. Are you able to repost it (I promise to write it down this time)? I have visitors coming for dinner and thought this would be just the thing. No rush (Monday dinner). Thanks.

gardie, I think the following recipe is the one that you're wanting - it's Pam's recipe that I have saved to my files from 05-01-11. Thanks Pam .

CLAFOUTI
500g fresh black cherries, washed, pitted and stem removed or
1 x 425g can pitted black cherries, well drained
1 tbsp + ⅓ cup (100g) caster sugar
3 eggs
½ tsp vanilla
95g plain flour plain flour, sieved
pinch salt
125ml milk
⅓ cup cream
icing sugar for dusting

Butter a 25cm Ø fluted baking dish and scatter evenly with the cherries. Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp caster sugar.
Beat the eggs, ⅓ cup caster sugar and vanilla, until frothy. Fold in the flour, salt, milk and cream. Pour this mixture over the cherries.
Bake at 180ºC for 45 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Serve warm, dusted generously with icing sugar.

Hope that helps. :-))
