WOW!! This is AMAZING!!!!
I love, love, love cherries!!! I think part of the reason that I love them so is because when I as a kid we had a cherry tree in the side yard and I could literally open my window and pick and eat them. It seemed like it was a huge tree and every year we'd pick buckets full and mom would make the most delicious desserts and we'd all eat cherries until we were red in the cheeks! Well, a few years ago I planted my very own cherry tree in my back yard. It was scrawny and small, but I had high hopes for it! It didn't seem like it would make it for a couple of years...it has been broken and sawed off but treated with care and respect. This year it paid off!!! I had a harvest of cherries!!!!!
We got about 5lbs off that tree and the first thing we did was make cobbler. I don't have my mom's recipe so I went to allrecipies and found a really good one! I added more cherries than Miranda did, but other than that I stuck to her recipe.
