I make clafoutis from a Matt Tebbit cook book I bought years ago it’s always a nice dessert. Have a lovely day and congratulations.

Many congratulations to you and your husband Witzend.

51 years - really so special!

Enjoy the day, especially the clafoutis.

Thank you all!
I haven’t made one for a while, but in fact it’s very simple - just a batter pudding with cherries thrown in, baked in the oven.
One recipe I have advises soaking the cherries in kirsch, but I much prefer it without.

I first made one at a BiL’s place in France, where there were masses of cherries on the trees (not fat black - smaller red ones) that hardly anyone was eating.
So removing the stones was far too much of a faff - I then had to teach nieces (from Singapore) the Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor…. ritual with the cherry stones. šŸ˜‚

With frozen (thawed) black cherries from Sainsbury’s. We don’t usually have puddings, but it’s our 51st wedding anniversary today, so I’m pushing the boat out a bit. šŸ™‚
