Door County Chilled Cherry Soup

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:33:39 -0400

I got this recipe from the Door County Coffee & Tea Co. It makes a great dessert dish. Watch your blender when mixing this because the ginger ale can get really fizzy. Did you know that you can remove cherry stains from the ceiling with lemon juice? -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Cherry Ricotta Casserole

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 16:23:50 -0500

This is a very yummy and easy to make warm dessert, which can be served as a main dish as well. The batter resembles a cheesecake, but is not as solid. Accompany with vanilla ice-cream or custard for that extra twist. =) This recipe comes from a famous German chef called Tim Mälzer, who is sometimes referred to as the German Jamie Oliver. I only substituted cherries for the gooseberries he uses. -- posted by Lalaloula

Raw Vegan Chocolate Cherry/Strawberry Tart

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:22:58 -0500

Found something similar on youtube, I've tweaked it a little to suit my taste. Presents beautifully for company and tastes very delicious and of course it is full of nutrients and living enzymes. It sets after a couple of hours but also is very good served straight away. Soak the almonds overnight and the nuts for 30-60 mins. If in a hurry the almonds can be used unsoaked. Strawberries also work great. -- posted by canthelpmyself

Poached Cherry Risotto

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:02:15 -0500

I really like risotto. The trouble is that I am the only one in the house that likes it, until now. Everything is better when it is sweet. also, you cannot live near Door County without having a few cherry recipes on here. I used Recipe #229437 #229437 by the lovely and talented Chef #58104 for the cherries called for in this recipe. Yes, I still add the vanilla because my DH loves vanilla. You can skip this step if you use Rita's cherry, since it already is flavored. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Mix-In-The-Pan Cherry Cake

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:11:35 -0500

From "Cake Mix Magic." This cake uses cherry pie filling and a white cake mix to create a pretty marbled effect. The ease of preparation makes it even more enticing. The author suggests serving this cake with powdered sugar sprinkled over it or serving it warm beneath a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think it would be good with a little cool whip, also. Using a cake with pudding in the mix may increase baking time. Prep time is an estimate. -- posted by the_cookie_lady

Light Cherry Dessert

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:39:55 -0500

I got a craving for baked cherries, so I found a recipe from Cooks.com and lightened it up. The cherries rise to the top, and the batter bakes becomes custard-like. This dessert can also be prepared using blueberries, plums, peaches, apples or other fruits that are in season. I used frozen pitted cherries, which cuts down on the prep time. -- posted by Cook-a-holic

Chocolate Fudge Cookies With Toffee & Dried Cherries

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:32:03 -0500

These cookies have a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior. The various flavours and textures (rich dark chocolate, chewy sour cherries, and sweet crisp toffee) combine to produce a deliciously addictive cookie. From Regan Daley's cookbook, "In The Sweet Kitchen: The Definitive Baker's Companion". If you are using cherries, make sure they are plump and soft. If you want smaller cookies, decrease baking time. Dough freezes very well. These are fabulously gooey when warm. -- posted by blucoat

Black Forest Chocolate Chip & Cherry Cookies

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:50:35 -0400

An excellent cookie for chocolate and cherry lovers alike. As you may know, the appellation 'Black Forest' does in fact refer to a forest of that name found in Germany, where the Black Forest Gateau was believed to have originated. Since then chefs have used their imagination to apply the combination of chocolate and tart cherries, customarily soaked in Kirschwasser (also credited to that region, where tart morello cherries grow) to a number of different desserts and delicacies. That being said, this delicious cookie is very adaptable to suit different tastes. It can be made without the chocolate (just add an extra 1/2 cup or so of cherries), extra chocolatey (add 2/3 cup unsw cocoa powder to the batter with the flour), kid friendly (soak the cherries in juice or a simply syrup), or easily halved. These cookies are very moist and chewy, which I love, but if you prefer crunchier cookies you may want to use a different batter base. This recipe is adapted from Dede Wilson's "Chocolate Chip Cookies". Cook time includes chill time. Cheers! -- posted by Oenophilly

Cherry Dumplings in Brandied Butter

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:53:16 -0400

This was a demonstration recipe at Charlotte Anne Albertson's Cooking School (Wynnewood, PA), Jan 19, 2006. The chef was Sean Burns, executive chef (days), from Davio's in Philadelphia. This was served as dessert and is remarkably easy to make. It uses dumpling wrappers to speed up the prep and effectively makes a crepe or blintz type of dessert. The dumplings can be boiled or steamed -- I prefer steaming because there is less chance of the dumplings coming apart and making a mess in the pan. I've included directions for both methods below. -- posted by Gandalf The White

Festive Sugar Plums - Old Fashioned Sweetmeats

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:37:27 -0500

I love the Nutcracker Ballet and the music that accompanies it, especially the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies! These fabulous little festive sweetmeats are based on a recipe that I adapted from Delia Smith's latest and BRILLIANT cookbook, "Happy Christmas". I have made these TWICE already - as a pre-Christmas dummy run, and they are SO easy as well as being extremely delicious! Sugar plums are mentioned in all forms of literature; most famously in The Night Before ChristmasThe children were nestled, all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads". However, they are a VERY old kind of sweet/candy, and I have traced some recipes right back to the Middle Ages in one guise or another, usually with minced meat hence sweet meat. This recipe can be made as a boozy after dinner adult treat, or with orange juice so the children can dream of them dancing in their heads! NB: These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Rose Almond Cherry Pies

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:22:20 -0500

These indvidual cherry pies are made beautifully fragrant with marzipan and a hint of rosewater. My own recipe! Good enough to serve at the end of a dinner party with whipped double cream or vanilla ice cream (in which case, I'd suggest 2 pies each). All the refrigeration during the recipe helps stop the pastry becoming tough when baked. -- posted by elmsyrup

My grandfather was an excellent baker and would make this recipe on special occasions. He received this recipe from his mother. He passed away 3 years ago at the age of 97. Enjoy this simply wonderful cherry dessert. Best if served warm. -- posted by Cookin' 4 the boyz
