Dear Orchardists,
Here it is, the Montmorency cherry crop for the year! I know you and the birds and deer have been waiting anxiously since
this time last year. It's a veritable avalanche compared to last year, and so we made jam. Then we made a tart with the jam.
Both recipes are from David Lebovitz's excellent blog. Here is
the jam, and here is
the tart. Both were easy as pie, but I know you don't choose things based on the difficulty level or the labor-hours required to complete them. I know that when you have cherries you let the winsome color of the fruit direct you to the appropriate use.
