CHERRY CRISP



Cherry Crisp image

The very first time that I made Cherry Crisp, my brother happened to be visiting. He is an ice cream lover-but he passed up the scoops of vanilla that he tops most desserts with so he could taste the cherries better! Wheat, soybeans and milo are the main crops on our farm. We also have three small cherry trees. I apportion all of that harvest for this recipe. My husband's is the manager of a coop. I work part-time as a church secretary...teach piano in our home...and enjoy making clothes for myself and our 3-year-old daughter. Cross-stitch is one of my favorite hobbies.

CHEERY CHERRY CRISP



Cheery Cherry Crisp image

"I love the aroma and flavor of basil! So when I found a recipe that called for basil in a strawberry-rhubarb crisp, I couldn't wait to try it," writes Beth Rice of Springfield, Oregon. "I reduced the fat in the recipe and changed the strawberries to cherries since I had a tree loaded with them. The tart fruit flavor goes perfectly with the tangy basil."

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
  • Pit the cherries. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to remove the pits.
  • Make sure the cherries are dry before adding them to the crisp. This will help prevent the crisp from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the crisp. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the crisp. The topping should be golden brown and the cherries should be tender, but not mushy.
  • Serve the crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
