Sad is the state of my kitchen lighting, oh well...
On to the recipe! Cherries and Cream Pie
With fresh cherries going on sale all over the place I nabbed some and set about looking for a recipe (don't worry Mom- I did eat some fresh fruit too). I came across this interesting version of a "pie", in quotes as it's really only loosely resembles a pie. Not sure what else you'd call it but frankly who cares right? It was damn tasty. It also sparked a PieKnits Household First. After devouring the first piece, Mr. PieKnits (notorious anti-sweet person that he is) asked if he could have a second slice!
I could transcribe the recipe but really I didn't change anything from Baking Bites version except to use the fresh cherries. So I will point you to her Cherries and Cream post.
It says serve warm or chilled but I highly recommend it fresh out of the oven, mmmm.
ETA: Oh- and if you are using fresh cherries and can get your hands on a cherry pitter I'd whole-heartedly recommend it. I had no such luck and pitted mine using a bobby pin with varying degrees of success and more than a few curse words.
That looks delicious! Once things settle down a bit on the home front I will have to give that recipe a try.
YUM!
Yummy!
So hungry now! Did you do anything different with cooking times for using fresh cherries?
where's my piece, it looks yummy.

that looks really interesting! a neat take on 'pie'....
Ooooh, yummy! You just answered my dilemma about what to do with all the cherries in my fridge (yep, I succumbed to the sale prices, too!)
Do you know about Daring Bakers? A person serves as "host" and chooses a pastry type recipe and everyone works on it. They won't post photo's or talk about it until a specified date.
I'm working on August's challenge.
BTW, my home brew turned out REALLY GOOD!! Have another batch brewing. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
This looks incredible, I think I'll have to try it! Thanks for the tip off to baking bites- I hadn't seen that food blog before, and it looks great. : )
soknitpicky - Nope! Just kept a close eye on it. (I was concerned about how the cream cheese would stand up to baking but it was just fine.)
Wow, that looks amazing! Thanks for the link to the recipe, I'll definitely be giving it a go!
Thanks for the recipe! I'm going to try this tonight.
Ok... drooling... Mmmm
