What should I do with a glut of cherries?

[Gladiolys]

I’m going to make cherry jam and a pie, but would love to know if anyone has a spectacular cherry recipe they want to share

Lovely suggestions, thank you! Definitely going to try a clafoutis - closest thing I’ll get to a french holiday this year…

Cherry curd

Yup, pit some and freeze them.
Use as stewed berries (with pancakes for example), or pop them into a glass of fizz to flavour and cool it.
Also good for crumbles, etc.

Cherry Cake!

Seconding all of these - lovely summery thread

Sell them. Cherries are fucking expensive.

But the curd sounds good, too.

Also- how could I forget!! You could make a mostly cherry, summer pudding. That is the food of the gods.
Tip: do not try to make this with mother’s pride type white bread- it goes to mush as soon as it gets wet. You’ll need a tougher bread like sourdough IME.

Find a local foodbank who accept fresh food & make some struggling families really happy?

Make cherry brandy, it'll be wonderful - I make damson brandy every year and it's fab in the cold weather

.....and then, when the brandy is ready and you strain it, you'll be be left with lovely squishy, extremely boozy cherries. They'll make a wonderful pie or hot sauce for ice cream - but my favourite would be to mix them with melted dark chocolate to make little piles of liquor chocolate deliciousness
