cherry clafouti (clafouti de cerezas negras)








Finally I can make another post, having everything ready could not. 
 Of course  Christmas was a mess (as always) and also my camera from one day to another did not work anymore.

Thank God and my family (hubby) who gift me a new one. 
(Is a Canon too)

It's better than the other one but I had to learn to use it.
My kids helped me of course and I can do it myself.

I think these are the last cherries of the season but  Im frozen someones in small bags to use when we do not have cherries.

In any case, this clafouti can be made with frozen cherries or cherries in a jar. It is just as good.
Clafoutis are really simple and delicious!

I have to confess that I absolutely love passion fruit (aka maracuya) and in fact you can make desserts, tarts, ice cream, I had not made a soufle but the recipe enchanted me.  Absolutely recommend. I always use frozen maracuya if you do not have fresh maracuya. It freezes very well.
