It is cherry picking time in Kentucky!
I have the trick when it comes to pitting them...this cast iron beauty takes care of the job quickly :)
Friends come to pick and I send them away with their bags of cherries all ready to cook or freeze.
I see lots of recipes online, so maybe I will.
My vintage stamps (tampons in French...go figure! LOL!) came from this online shop .
I hope your day is sunny and sweet!

Mmmmmm I second that cherry pie!!! Have you ever tried deep frying a cherry pie? Sinfully caloric and fatty I'm sure, but I'll bet they're good (I've watched them do it on the Food Network).
You need to ask Jojo for her clafoutis recipe to use with all those cherries!
And ... merci, merci, merci ... mille mercis!!! for the Chihuly book that arrived in my mail box today. I'm terrifically excited to receive it and can't wait till tonight to go through it page by page & look at the dvd that was inside the book. If I didn't have to write tomorrow's Pressing Matters column today (read that as ... if I didn't have to work & if I didn't get the column to the editor in time today, he'd be very unhappy), I'd being pouring over that book right now! Thank you, thank you again, you are super fabulous!
Tampons? really? I just went to Google translator and it also means pad or tampon in french. A wide and strange group of different meanings. Cute stamps though and golly I wish I had a cherry tree! If you make the maraschino cherries I hope you share how they turn out:>)
ooooh tHEY LOOK SO goooood!!Hope you are having a good day....m....

I love your tampons (stamps) very much!
Belle journée !
Oups, I meant : Maraschino cherries is probably not a clafoutis, but i give you the recipe of clafoutis :-)))
I absolutely love cherry pie/cobbler etc. I wish I had a cherry tree but I'm sure the birds would leave me nothing. I have to net everything as it is. I did plant ground cherries this year and have two cherry bushes - Nanking I think.
Love the stamps!

Love, love the cherries, oh my gosh you are soooo lucky, when I do get to buy them I make my own cherry pie filling and I make fruit cocktail too....tried the maraschino cherries once....can't remember if they turned out!!!
I will check back when you're done!!!

I"ve heard of those pitters but had never seen one. Wow looks like it works WONDERFUL!
Your vintage stamps are beautiful!
Whatchya making?!!!
Wow, that's some cherry pitter! I use a little hand held thing that only does one at a time. I'm going to have to look into one like yours. I love cherries. They are my favorite fruit. My tree is a Royal Anne, which lots of folks envy, but my favorites are Bings. I have my ice cream dilly bobbers freezing right now, so I can use my machine tomorrow and make homemade cherry ice cream sometime soon.
You can use that nifty cherry stamp to make labels for your cherries! Cool!
How fun, I wish I could pick cherries!
