What cakes can I make with glacied cherries?

[JingJanglingBexieHoHoHo]

Found some that go out of date this month, lol.

just make a fruit cake and make up the weight with raisins

or cherry and almond muffins:

in one bowl mix:
10oz SR
1/2 tsp salt
5oz sugar
4oz cherries
2oz flaked almonds
tablespoon of ground almonds if you have them

in another bowl or a jug mix:
1 large egg
8floz milk
3floz veg oil

mix wet into dry
spoon into muffin tins, top each with a few more flaked almonds
180C 20-25min (15min if you do them in fairy cake tins)

cherry clafoutis

750g cherries
100g flour
90g caster sugar
1 sachet vanilla sugar or a few drops vanilla essence
6 eggs
1/4 litre milk
1 pinch salt

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
Beat eggs with salt.
Add sugar and flour.
Add milk little by little.
Grease flan dish, pour in base, then add cherries on top.
Cook for 45 minutes.
Serve warm.

Personally I'd make clafoutis with fresh cherries, not glace...

cherry scones

it's all they are good for I reckon

that or shoving on white icing on the top of a bun

or I seem to remember some very odd cocktail that had glace cherries in...will try and remember

make florentine biscuits they are great and much easier to make than they look. be careful only to put a small blob of mixture on the tray for each one because they melt and spread out when they are cooking

If you are going to bake a cake with them, rather than biscuits, make sure you roll them in flour before you add them to the mix, or they will sink.

appols if this is teaching my granny to suck eggs

oh martianbishop! I never knew that!

I always wondered why that happened!

(what a font of knowledge you are)

my granny told me that!

consider the tip passed on . I feel all warm and properly motherly now.

really, though

Well, if you're going to be a snob about it....

It was the only cherry recipe I had.

oh I am sorry Hekate
have you made it with glace ones?
[adds to recipe file, resolves no to be such a ponce in future]

erm, well, actually, erm. No. I, erm, well, er, don't buy glace cherries only proper ones......I'm aware you are going to have something to say about my hypocracy (sp?) aren't you?

But the op has glace cherries and I only have that cherry recipe.

rofl!

Muffins sound nice. Thanks for the ideas!

cherry and almond flapjacks, yummy!

These are lovely and easy too.
No Bake Chocolate Squares
Makes 16 small squares.
(Or double the quantities and use a baking tray.)
115g (4.5oz) plain chocolate
100g (4oz) unsalted butter
30ml (2tbsp) golden syrup
30ml (2tbsp) double cream
200g (7oz) digestive biscuits
50g (2oz) flaked almonds
40g (1.5oz) raisins
50g (2oz) glace cherries, chopped
Break the chocolate into squares and put it into a glass bowl together with the butter, syrup and cream. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted.
Or use a microwave on high for about 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. Roughly break up the biscuits( or get the children to do it).
In a bowl combine biscuits, almonds, raisins and cherries. Pour over the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly. Spoon the mixture into a 7 or 8 inch square tin, lined with foil and press down firmly (a potato masher will do the trick) Leave in the fridge to set. Cut into small squares.

Here are my recipes for glace cherries:

1. scoff them straight from the tub. very sickly but quite moreish.

1. Thread 2 on a cocktail stick either side of a slice of lemon and stick in a good old 70's style Cinzano.
