  • Cherry Crisp (So Yummy!)

    We have two cherry trees in our backyard.  The small one was loaded with cherries this year.  We had so much fun picking them. 

    Pitting them was not so much fun.  I rinsed them and packed them in quart size freezer bags.  Now the freezer is stocked with yummy cherries. 

    Here's what I made with 1 quart of cherries.

    Cherry Crisp

    1 quart of thawed cherries (sweetened with a 1/2 cup of sugar)

    1 can of cherry pie filling (No frozen or fresh cherries?  Use 2 cans of cherry pie filling.)

    1 box of cake mix (any white or yellow mix is fine - I used a pound cake mix)

    1 stick of butter

    Pour cherries and pie filling in a 9X13 pan.  Top with dry cake mix.  Dot with butter.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

    Top with vanilla icecream.  Oh. My. Goodness.  It's so yummy!  I have also used this recipe with blackberries, apples, and peaches.  More yumminess!
