I was so amazed to walk into my local supermarket and find fresh cherries! It is the coldest winter I have had in Perth and glistening in the light were those favorite of all fruits, gems of round perfection….umm, sorry, getting carried away, but SERIOUSLY…I couldn't resist!
All the way from the USA, and cheap as chips (compared to the price I have grudgingly paid in summer!) they are firm, beautifully flavored and of course perfect for any warm, wintery dessert….a little kiss with the promise of summer on it's way.
