Comments on: Cherry nice http://www.bloginfrance.com/2010/cherry-nice/ The fun and frustrations of expat life in France Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:13:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Alan Leishman http://www.bloginfrance.com/2010/cherry-nice/comment-page-1/#comment-136 Alan Leishman Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:26:33 +0000 http://www.bloginfrance.com/?p=447#comment-136 We were lucky with our cherries too which Mel turned into a number of cherry bakewells and pots of Cherry and Cinamon Jam some of which we used to curry favour with English and French friends alike. Have had Clafoutis before and I'm afraid it is one French treat I won't partake in again. Aside from nearly choking on a stone (nobody had warned me) I found it rather like a cherry Yorkshire pudding. Might be nice with figs though.

Thanks for the tip. How lovely to get home grown veg without the work! I've been watering potatoes, peas and pumpkins these last few days - hooray for the rain that's coming our way! Yours in blogging, Stephanie Fig clafoutis – I must definitely try that. Thanks for the tip.

I made a clafoutis with ripe figs late last summer (same recipe, just cut each fig in four), which worked well. Some friends have cherry trees and we benefit every year, as we do from their potager (we are too lazy to have one), which provides us with potatoes, lettuces, tomatoes, courgettes...all much nicer than shop-bought ones. By the way, I met a niece of the Tatin sisters (originators of Tarte Tatin, said to have started as a mistake) a few months ago, who runs a chambres d'hôte in Toulouse. She makes Tarte Tatin according to their recipe. Amitiés, Vanessa Sounds delicious. I made a clafoutis with ripe figs late last summer (same recipe, just cut each fig in four), which worked well.
