Breaking News!  Tart Cherries Have Arrived!

7/22/2014

Yes, I know I just "blogged" about Michigan's Balaton tart cherries, but today (OK, yesterday for most of you reading this) was the big day.  Today was the day I proudly procured 26 pounds of pure delight.  I already have produced one pie (see attached pictures), and my freezer is so filled with Balaton cherries I had to sacrifice three ice cubes.  It was a tough call, but I had no other choice.  Priorities are priorities!

Seriously, since I raved so much about Balaton cherries and the incredible pies they produce, I thought it might be of some interest to share some actual photos.

Short and sweet (er, tart), but then, it's been a busy day!

First, make the Pie Crusts  Note the particles of butter and lard.  Remember, no substitutions.

Ready for the oven.

Buon appetito.
Then, cook the cherries (see Tart Cherry Pie) and add to the pie.

Ci!  (That would be Italian for voila!)
