Cherry clafoutis

Oooh yes please!

Yes. I've never called it that though when I've made it as it's a "bung it" pudding here (if I have a lot of cherries ever). Have made similar with other fruit (more often than not, plums).
Also nice with almonds and/or madeira if no kirsch or rum.
I'd have called it "cherry pudding" or similar. It would of course never be quite the same twice!

My mum used to make this a few years ago. Sadly she's not able anymore. I absolutely love it.

Oh my - yes please. I hadn't thought of using tinned cherries, but it's a great idea.

Mmmm j'adore 🍒
You can do it with raspberries too.

Some recipes I’ve seen include kirsch, but personally I prefer it without- just cherries and batter.

I love clafoutis. I make a rhubarb version too.

Oooh rhubarb

Never heard of it it sounds very posh

Not posh at all, just a layer of cherries, with a simple batter mix on top, shove in the oven.

Matte Tebbits recipe with white chocolate sauce is delicious.

Never heard of cherries and batter mix either Witzend perhaps I m in the wrong part of the country is it prevalent somewhere ?
I ve not seen it on a menus or anything

I make it with blueberries. Cherry clafoutis is one of my favourite puddings.

It's from the Limousin area where cherries are grown in abundance. The batter is soggier than English batter.

Love Clafoutis, my Godmother used to make it always when I visited. But I will only make it in season- when the black cherries are ripe and plentyful. For me, eating such things in season makes it so so special- and something to look forward to.

And no, not posh at all- simple peasant fare- where cherries abound. Can make it with soaked prunes too.

That sounds a bit like far. Have you made that?

Yes, Far Breton- same thing.

This is a new recipe to me, I just looked it up and plan to make it later today.It looks delicious

Fleurpepper

Yes, Far Breton- same thing.

With Armagnac.

I too used to make it if France Witzend with fresh cherries, I find the frozen ones rather tasteless, but tinned work, as do blueberries. Rhubarb is a great idea Siope, I’ll try that, thanks

Love clafoutis but I've only ever made it with fresh fruit. I'll have to try some tinned or frozen.

Most famous foods from around the world, that may sound 'posh' elsewhere, are actually peasant food, using what is growing for more or less free locally.

I think that it is better made with morellos tbh as tinned fruit lacks the flavour of fresh fruit.

I made cherry clafoutis many years ago and it was delicious. The only downside is that I made a tremendous mess when preparing the cherries. I got lots of teeny, tiny half-moon shaped cherry-coloured spills on the kitchen tiles.

It took forever to clean them all off. When I thought I'd got the last of them another appeared. For weeks later I kept spotting them, "Oops, there's another!" I thought I'd never get rid of them. Needless to say, I only made them once but the evidence remained.
