I really love fresh cherries but I can't stand dried cherries! They taste so weird to me, not like cherries at all. But I must admit that I looove maraschino cherries! I can't imagine what a crisp cheese crust is but it sounds amazing. I love seeing your thought process and how things lead you from making one thing to another. I always admire your sense of adventure and adaptability in the kitchen!eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-4514948759700798082010-04-27T06:11:02.821+10:002010-04-27T06:11:02.821+10:00so many wonderful fruity ideas here Johanna - I...so many wonderful fruity ideas here Johanna - I'm impressed yet again by your enthusiasm for trying so many new recipes.<br /><br />My favourite of all of these is the figs cooked with cointreau on cream cheese and muffins.

I'm completely swooning over your luscious photos of the fresh figs... Fresh figs are one of my favorite treats! You've inspired me to fix rhubarb tonight, too - your crumble sounds too delicious not to fix immediately! :-)Astra Librishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875529379234934319noreply@blogger.com
