Oh my, as I hit post, I realized dish to use cherries in meant recipe to add them to and not container. I don’t know why I thought otherwise. I feel so silly.

I made sour cherry liqueur this summer that tastes like drinking sunshine. Mmmmm good!
I haven’t really cooked with cherries except cherry pie. I just love to eat cherries fresh.
This is a desperate entry. Red. I need red. My kitchen accent color is red. This give away was made for ME.
Cherry Recipe?
Um, only cherry pie comes to mind. No, wait – I put cherries on cheesecake.
Oh and wait – I love making the beautiful, festive grown up drink:
Cherry 7-UP (hey that’s “Cherry”!)
cranberry juice
Raspberry liquor (we like Chambord)
drop in a cherry or two in the glass to make it pretty

I have smoothie that I make in the summer that is cherry- banana- vanilla. I use vanilla greek yogurt, ice, a half cup milk, one frozen banana, and a whole bunch (1-2 handfuls) of pitted cherries…yum. I wish it were a bit warmer right now for this!
i also just joined the just ‘liked’ the choose cherries page on FB!
Spread some love on the Choose Cherries FB wall.
This is probably the most hoops I’ve jumped through for a giveaway. Can you tell I’m excited?!

I love making Cherry Crisp. Warm gooey goodness that makes the tummy smile

Funny enough the only cherry recipe I have that stands out is a cherry cheesecake that my mom used to make when I was a kid. It was my favorite and I always asked for it as my birthday treat. Funny enough now as an adult I don’t really love cheesecake, and it was made with canned cherry pie filling, not so yummy as an adult either! I should try to recreate the recipe and use ricotta or marscapone and real cherries!
I’m going grocery shopping this weekend. If I can invent anything worth a darn, I’ll submit it in the contest, too.
I have an idea…

I love freezing fresh cherries and then eating them that way in the summer. It’s such a cool treat!
I have only really had cherries on cheesecake. Never had any other recipes with cherries in it besides desert. Although a wine/cherry sauce for some steak sounds good. I will need to try to make a recipe for it!

I have never cooked with cherries, I’m embarrassed to say. It always seems so complicated–sour cherries are almost impossible to find frozen, yet everything I read says those are the only cherries worth cooking with. What’s a girl to do?

I only discovered that I like cherries in the past 2 or 3 years (I know, right!). I thought I didn’t like them because I don’t like those ones that go in drinks. But then I tried Rainier cherries and *drool*. Then I moved on to Bing – also happiness. So now I look forward to cherries – except for pitting them for my kids…it slows down my cherry eating. They need to learn to do it themselves

All of that to say, I have never cooked with them because I didn’t think I liked them. Heh.

I like to make Chocolate Crinkle cookies with cherries in them!! I also made French Macarons with cherry filling the other day. YUMMM.

The original recipe didn’t call for cherry filling, but I looked it up online! xoxo

There was a cherry “coffee cake” thing that I remember my mom making when I was a kid. She, of course, made it for a church function and I got maybe 2 square inches of it but it was sooooo yummy. Then several years ago, I was visiting my sister-in-law and she was making something to take to her MOPS group. Turns out, it was pretty much the exact same “coffee cake” I remembered my mom making. I asked her for recipe, made it once myself and then never made it again. Boo on me!
I made a cherry compote last summer from fresh cherries. We spooned it over homemade vanilla ice cream, though I admit, I ate a fair bit of it straight from the pan!

Oh and try adding cherries to lemonade or lemonade slush…it’s awesome!
I actually dislike Cherries in every form. Does that mean I’m disqualified?
I have made some really pretty cookies with cherries on them, but I never eat cherries.

YES! Its called cherry cream crumble pie oh my. My honey loves it because its not super sweet like fruit pies can be sometimes, and it doesnt have any artificial dyes, though I have no problem with that and will inhale anything…im done now.

I’m not a huge fan of cherries, but my favorite recipe would be cheesecake topped with cherries. You can’t go wrong with cheesecake.

Yum! Love this!
My recipe is called cherry delight and it is a long standing family favorite and is required at Christmas and Easter and everyone’s birthdays.
Graham Cracker Crust, topped with a yummy mixture of cream cheese/powdered sugar/ and dream whip, topped by cherry pie filling. Easy and simple and everybody always asks for it.
Cherry chocolate cake…what could be better than cherries and chocolate? Well…maybe cherries on top of cheesecake….or just plain ole cherries. Mmm!!!
Well just yesterday I made some homemade granola bars. And for the fun extra ingredients I chopped up the rest of the Bliss dark chocolate and some dried cherries. So dark chocolate, dried cherry granola bars. Needless to say they are almost gone.

Right out of the oven gooey cherry crumble…. Oh, and fresh cherry mojitos!
Also? When my girls were little I used to dress them in these darling cherry-patterned rompers. They’re still in therapy over it.

I like to put cherries in my fruit salad, but truly the best use for them is on top of a hot fudge sundae!
OMG….these are so beautiful!!! I can’t wait to cook with these beauties! If they arrived at my front door, I would do just what you did! LOL Really hope I’ll win. So, back to answering your question…my favorite all time cherry recipe is a sour cherry pie. Really love that tangy flavor.

I love dried cherries on salad! Looking forward to seeing some of the recipes that include cherries. Vi love experimenting in the kitchen!
Look at all the red colors. So vivid! I am loving it.

I can’t recall ever using cherries in a recipe, so no, I don’t have a favorite recipe that includes cherries.
I never enter contests, but I’m a die hard W.S. & Anthropology fan. Half my kitchen is William Sonoma. Why not top it off.
