Pour cherries and their juices** into the prepared pan and then pour batter on top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until the centre is set, the edges are brown, and the top is light brown all over. Rotate the clafouti once in the oven if needed for even browning. Turn up the heat once the sugar is dissolved and bring to a vigorous boil, stirring to prevent scorching, until the cherries are softened but not mushy, and the juices are red, about 5-8 minutes. Taste, making sure you taste a cherry as well as the juice, and add a little more sugar, or lemon juice, to taste. The Romans are credited with populating England with cherries grown from stones spat by legions of soldiers. The cherry’s cultivation, sweet and sour, was encouraged by Henry VIII, and as many as 100 varieties were known to English orchards by the mid-17th century, with a concentration of growers in Kent. This county remains the heart of British cherry growing today, with a seasonal industry built around its imports throughout the British Isles, a scenic “cherry trail”, and plentiful roadside stands (some of which cunningly advertise “ local strawberries and fresh cherries” before the local cherries begin). Someone in that cherry heartland must cultivate the Morello, but if they do, I’ve never found them. And who can forget cherry popping candy?

The newest, biggest, kind of hip thing to do with sour cherries,” said Nikki, “is to turn them into dried cherries. If you were to dry a sweet cherry, it just wouldn’t have the acidity and that distinctive cherry flavor—it would tend to just get sweet and bland.” The French traditionally do not stone the fruits, as the stones give off a subtle almond flavour in baking and keep their shape. If you are serving people who don’t mind negotiating stones, leave them in. For children or anyone who would object, I do stone them. This also allows the brandy and sugar to penetrate the fruit. Felicity Cloake gets around this difficulty by leaving them whole, but crushing the fruits slightly. Please yourself. Because they’re so sour, they tend to be cooked or preserved and the syrup is used in drinks and liqueurs. Sour cherries have a high melatonin content and it has been suggested that the fruit is useful in alleviating sleep problems. The sour cherry has a number of other uses. The seed contains an edible oil which is used in cosmetics, the stem produces a gum which can act as an adhesive, while a green dye can be obtained from the leaves and a dark grey to green dye from the fruit. Speaking of cherry treats, don’t forget that Cola can come in many flavours, and of course one of those is cherry!

Prunus cerasus ( sour cherry, [3] tart cherry, or dwarf cherry [4]) is a species of Prunus in the subgenus Cerasus ( cherries), native to much of Europe, North Africa and West Asia. It is closely related to the sweet cherry ( Prunus avium), but has a fruit that is more acidic. Its sour pulp is edible. [5] Sour cherries suffer fewer pests and diseases than sweet cherries, although they are prone to heavy fruit losses from birds. In summer, fruit should be protected with netting. When harvesting fruit, they should be cut from the tree rather than risking damage by pulling the stalks.

Sour cherry trees are cultivated for their edible fruit though they are rather sour when eaten raw. There are several cultivars grown commercially, including the dark morello cherry and the lighter red amarelle and montmorency cherry. Few things in life are more delicious than a wide array of cherry sweets! It is always amazing how whenever there is a bag of sweets around, the cherry options are the first ones to go.
