Cherry Red

1. I don’t have a favorite bowl for cherries or really a favorite bowl period, but those bowls are very pretty.

   1. 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.

2. I made sour cherry liqueur this summer that tastes like drinking sunshine. Mmmmm good!

3. I haven’t really cooked with cherries except cherry pie. I just love to eat cherries fresh.

4. 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

5. I tweeted

   ‘Scuse me.

   (don’t you always want to say that after you say, “I tweeted!” ?)

6. 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!

7. i also just joined the just ‘liked’ the choose cherries page on FB!

8. 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?!

   *fingers crossed*

9. I LIKED on Facebook.

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

11. 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!

12. 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…

14. I love freezing fresh cherries and then eating them that way in the summer. It’s such a cool treat!

15. 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! 🙂

16. Added ‘Choose Cherries’ on facebook

17. I make chocolate covered cherries every Christmas.

18. tweet tweet

19. 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?

20. 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 😉

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

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

    1. OK, French Macarons with cherries. Here’s the blog post:
       http://creative-outpour.blogspot.com/2011/01/french-macarons.html

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

22. 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!

23. I “liked” choose cherries on FB!

24. tweet, tweet – http://twitter.com/#!/justmalia/status/35150689365655553

25. I love dried tart cherries in chocolate chip cookies. Like YUM.

26. I make the best cherry pie. I’m not even bragging, just stating a fact ma’am.

27. I don’t have a recipe but I love a big ol bowl of cherries!

    Oh and try adding cherries to lemonade or lemonade slush…it’s awesome!

28. 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.

29. Here’s my tweet, all pretty and red, and talkin’ ’bout cherries
    http://twitter.com/EricaMueller/status/35170060020490240

30. 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.

31. 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.

32. 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.

33. Cherry chocolate cake…what could be better than cherries and chocolate? Well…maybe cherries on top of cheesecake….or just plain ole cherries. Mmm!!!

34. 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.

36. “liked” them on FB

37. My favorite cherry recipe is a Black Forest Trifle. I haven’t made it for years, but it might make an appearance on Valentine’s Day!

38. 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.

39. Just ‘liked’ Choose Cherries on Facebook…

40. My mom always made “cherries in the snow” it was one of my favorite desserts! I just recently found her recipe for it and was so excited! Not the healthiest dessert but so nummy 🙂

41. Annnnnd I tweeted: http://twitter.com/#!/Babybloomr/status/35180126375251968

42. I like to put cherries in my fruit salad, but truly the best use for them is on top of a hot fudge sundae!

43. 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.

44. Just tweeted about the contest and giveaway. Here’s the link.

45. Just “liked” the choose cherries page on Facebook! Hm…I really really love this giveaway, and cherries! Thank you. 🙂

46. I love dried cherries on salad! Looking forward to seeing some of the recipes that include cherries. Vi love experimenting in the kitchen!

47. I can’t recall ever using cherries in a recipe, so no, I don’t have a favorite recipe that includes cherries.

48. 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. 🙂 Here’s my tweet link: http://twitter.com/#!/BeyondCreatives/status/35336132573007872

49. I liked their FB page and told them you sent me Nom, Nom, Nom!

50. I really don´t have a favorite cherry recipe, cause I usually eat them fresh, but I´m loving those cherry red utensiles, so cute

51. Ummm…I don’t actually like cherries. I do love Cherry Coke – does that count? But I LOVE red. My dining room is red, and my kitchen is yellow with red accents. Red is my color. Therefore, I NEED (ha!) these goodies!!! 😉

52. My recipe is a throw together thing like most of my cooking, since following directions is not my strong suit. I needed something to jazzy up the grilled salmon we had the other night. It’s my 5 yo sons favorite and he will eat a pound of it if you let him. So we eat it a lot. Ok, so here goes… Man up the grille, nice & hot. Prepare the sauce: 8oz Cherry preserves (no sugar added), 4oz chili sauce, 2oz apple butter. Stir. The cherries add the tart, the chili sauce adds the kick, and the apple butter adds a clovey richness that no one expects. Slather skin-side of salmon 1.5 lb slab with olive oil, throw it on the grill (med heat), & heavily coat the top with the oh-so-tasty cherry goodness & close the grill. Leave it. Walk away from the grill. I promise the salmon with not run away from the flames. Check in 10 mins. Coat with more cherry goodness, turn off the flames, close the lid & walk away again. The salmon will finish cooking in the indirect heat. Remove from grill when it’s fleshy side is flaky. Also, the skin will be crispy & peels off easily.

    I always have left over sauce. I use it on chicken or fish or in stir-fry. Even to dip chicken tenders in. Keeps well in the frig for a month or so. Give it a try!

53. We love my mom’s Pretzel Torte! It has a crust of crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter, with a filling and topping of sugar, cream cheese, whipped topping (and something else I’m forgetting), and a layer of cherry pie filling in there. It is SO GOOD!

54. Honestly I don’t think I have any recipes that I make with cherries in them 🙁 I love cherry salad dressings though (I have one that I should try making). I am inspired to possibly create a recipe for this contest from a childhood favorite that we bought at the store – not saying what it is so that the inspiration is not stolen 🙂

55. My family love cherry dump cake. It isn’t the most fancy dessert, but so yummy. Just a cake of cherry pie filling, dry yellow cake mix sprinkled on top, cover with dots of butter and bake! Delish.

56. Liked choose cherries on FB and left a comment

68. A favorite recipe with cherries…hmmm… my favorite way to use cherries is hot fudge sundaes with cherries on top!

69. I love to make volcano cookies. Two sugar cookies (unbaked) the one has a small hole in the center. put 2 cherries (with sauce) from a can of cherry pie filling on the whole cookie, then put the holed cookie on top and smoosh to seal. Bake and enjoy the yumminess!

70. I like them on facebook and told them you sent me. :O)

71. My recipe is called “Naked Cherries.” Ranier or Dark Sweet Red… Fresh.. just the way nature made them. No dips. No fuss. Just eat til you can’t move. 🙂

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/the-best-of/dried-cherry-scones-recipe/index.html

74. My favorite cherry recipe isn’t anything super special – it’s a creamy pie in a graham cracker crust with cherry filling on top. I don’t even know what it’s called -I just know that my grandmother has made it for Christmas every year of my life, so it automatically reminds me of her. Love = the best treat. 🙂

75. Cherry Cheesecake is my favorite. Oh and once a year I make my husband a Cherry tart that his mom used to make for him when he was growing up. In the summer I love to eat fresh cherries – yum!

76. I haven’t used cherries much but my mom has a recipe for a cherry cheese coffee cake that is dee-lish!

77. tweeted! http://twitter.com/#!/auntwithgum/status/35505974345211904

78. Cherry Fluff is a super quick and delcious not to mention pretty dessert you can take anywhere! 1 can cherry pie filling, 1 can sweet milk, 1 carton whipped topping, 1 can crushed pineapple, super drained, 1/2 cup of crushed nuts, mix together, serve in a pretty bowl! The cherries give it a pretty color!

79. Super quick cherry cookie recipe, basic cookie recipe, add red and green chopped cherries and roll dough into a log, roll in coconut, refrigerate 2-24 hrs, slice paper thin and bake! Beautiful with the red and green cherries and delcious!

80. I’m not entering the contest, just wanted to say that it is a great one and like you, I love pretty and different kitchen accessories. Red is such a vibrant colour and these prizes are just gorgeous!

81. I love black forest cake and would love these red goodies

82. I have to 2nd Kathy, I LOVE cherries on my sundaes 🙂 LOVE red accessories in my kitchen, just got myself a red butter croc so would love some other red cooking gadgets to go with it! GREAT giveaway 🙂

83. Like some of the others, I prefer fresh cherries and could eat a bucket full of them! However, I do have a favorite “old” recipe that uses a bottle of cherries (juice and all) with vanilla pudding and yummy fresh and/or fruits to make a delicious, easy fruit salad. I have a black & white kitchen with red (my very favorite color) accents, so I really do NEED the red goodies!! Have a happy week!

84. I have to go with Cherry Perserve Chicken.. Yes please, with a Cherry on Top!! 🙂 Roasting a chicken with fresh cherries and cherry perserves, makes for a sweet juicy chicken that goes great with salads! YUM!!

101. I tweeted! http://twitter.com/#!/melissa_826/status/35885990216212480

102. I’m not a big fan of cherries once they are cooked. I prefer them dried or right off the stem. So, my favorite recipes with them are dried and put in a cookie or trail mix and right off the stem and into a salad or on top of ice cream. 🙂

103. i make a simple yet unique cherry pie.

     sweetheart cherry pie

     1 can of cherry pie filling- sugar-free
     1 can of dark sweet cherries, drained
     2 pie crusts

     mix drained cherries with pie filling. spoon in crust as per directions on crust and decorate top with a cute design. bake as directed. the result is the tastiest 2 tone cherry pie ever. easy!

104. i am entering sweetheart cherry pie for the contest.

105. My grandmother’s pineapple bread pudding with maraschino cherries. One of my favorite foods 🙂

106. I love using cherries in a loaf bread, I actually sub the cherries in my blueberry bread recipe. Very cakelike bread, that I secretly eat for breakfast! So funny I have had cherries on the brain! Thanks for sharing!

107. Cherry dump cake–you know the basic can of cherry pie filling then top with a white cake mix and butter–oh yum- topped with vanilla ice cream when it is warm. Can’t be anything better than that and so easy!!!

108. Black Forest Cake – yum!!

109. I just blogged about my newly found love for all things red in the kitchen. So, yes please! My favorite is actually my mom’s recipe for cherry soup. Yep, soup!
