Roasting intensifies the cherry flavor and concentrates the texture, making the cherries almost chewy. The sugar and juices produce a thick, absolutely delicious sauce.

I do a very similar thing with figs, and it's always a success. The brown cane sugar makes all the difference in the taste, and it blends nicely with the natural juices of the figs to make a lovely sauce. I also sprinkle them with a few vanilla beans and cinnamon, and if I want to make a richer sauce, a knob of butter and a splash of maple syrup.

I don't know. I read a LOT of baking blogs and bake something everyday. I've tried a couple of 101 c.b.'s recipes, stay away from the baked doughnuts, don't waste your time.
There are a million baking blogs, Tish Boyle is pretty good, so is Baking Obsession or Tartelette, she has a lot of blogs listed on her site. The masters Daring Bakers, Dorie or David L. can't lose. Joy of Baking, not so much. James Beard is always a winner.
That's my 2 cents

Even my Country cannot grow this type of fruit , however I like to eat cherry so much. because it has alot of advantages to our body, especially, to support the body to fight cell oxidation and assist in slowing the aging process... so yummy :p

I love cherries. They remind me of my summer childhood in Serbia.

My mother made the best cherry-stuffed pastries when I was a little girl. There is nothing more delicious after running, swimming or jumping rope!

I so love cherries. While the season is pretty short, they're at their very best for about one month. I use to have two sour cherry trees when I lived in the burbs and would make cherry pie for the 4th of July every year. Sadly, now I'm at the mercy of the market which carries hardly any, if at all, fresh sour cherries. So, I now mainly buy bing and queen anne to eat out of hand.

I posted this last year and can't wait for this season's cherries to arrive. Ahhh ... for my love of Rainier Cherries! http://glutenfreefoodies.blogspot.com/2009/07/naturally-gluten-free.html

Cherries are my favorite fruit. My best memories of childhood summers is picking cherries from our orchard and making necklaces, earrings and wreaths with my sister.

Then we would eat the jewelery! Delicious.

In recent months I've changed one of my routes for my exercise walks. I now pass by an orchard. I've wondered what kind of trees were growing there. I figured peaches or pears and not really paid attention. Then one day recently I could not miss the bright red ripening cherries. Beautiful. The ravens are especially numerous now and they want some. To scare them off the owner has a worker or two walk up and down the rows of trees. He sings, shouts, rattles a few rocks inside a five gallon bucket and honk the horn of his car. At first I just he was crazy. The worker is Mexican from Zacatecas (sp?) and speaks little English. I speak very little Spanish but we can talk a little. We share a bit, he pets my dogs and I go off yelling new curses I have learned at the ravens. I have resisted the temtation to sneak a sample as I want to be part of the solution rather than the problem.

Best cherries come from Traverse City, Michigan. I'm craving me some of those rubies.

Oh yeah! Michigan cherries and apples!

I'm looking forward to trying the roasting and the brandying. Never thought about roasting cherries.

The cherries I've seen this year in our area aren't as good as in other seasons. Normaly the cherries we see are from Washington state, this year they come from California. Is there a problem w/ the Wasington crop?

[Mark Levad]

10:24 AM on 06/16/2010

The Washington crop is just comming on, you will probably see it in the next couple of weeks. It has been kind of cool and rainy in the orchard areas of late and it has slowed maturation. Thankfully the rain was happening before the cherries had matured and they haven't split.

It's still too early for Washington cherries.

Gonna try the barbeque sauce and salsa.
For the last week my step-son and his buddy have been hitting the cherry trees at the dacha every morning. We've put up cans of cherries, 40 liters of cherry juice, got a batch of cherry wine working, and have so many we've been pawing them off on friends.
If they keep bringing baskets home every day I'll have to stay making 'secret deliveries' to the neighbors doors at night.
