Cherries are in season in summer – outside those few months, these delicious little fruits are rarely found in supermarkets. When they do appear in the market in winter, they are usually sold at exorbitant prices. For this reason, we recommend making the most of the cherries while in season. If you need a little inspiration, here is a small collection of cherry recipes – Our Top 15 Cherry Recipes – where these little red fellas are the stars! Get started before the season is over!
Summer is the season for cherries. As soon as they hit the farmers market, we normally grab a basket and snack the first ones on the way home already. What’s left, often ends up in a compote. Like the one we used here for these Mini Cheesecakes with Cherry Compote. Super easy and quick to make. What more could you want?! Another one, of course! ;P
A delicious Streuselkuchen aka. streusel coffee cake always gets everyone around the table. This German Cherry Streusel Cake is no different here. As soon as the first piece of that cake is topped with a bit of heavy cream, the cake fight begins ;) So the cake comes with a warning. There could be riots around the table…
I’m a big fan of scones. These little pastries are quick and easy to prepare and can be made with so many different ingredients – chocolate, nuts, berries… These Cherry Marzipan Scones are made with – you guessed it already – fresh cherries and marzipan :P An extremely tasty combination I like a lot… you should definitely try!
Cherries and marzipan go quite well together, I’d say. The tart sweetness of the cherries is complemented by the flavor of the almonds in the marzipan – for me, always a winning combination. These Cherry Marzipan Streusel Shortbread Bars got some additional crunchy streusels on top to make the whole experience even better. Sweet, tart, soft and crunchy – all at once ;P
What could be better than a big load of delicious cherries packed between two layers of crispy pastry with some ice cream or vanilla sauce on top? Not much, right? ;) A Classic Cherry Pie is hard to beat. One of the best treats you can serve in summer. An absolute rock star when it comes to pies!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
