Cherry-chocolate-pecan crumble
Alcoholic beverages
In an attempt to win the battle of the cherry trees, I am putting up as much of the fruit as I can as fast as I can. Last year, the birds were the decisive victors, arriving like the Blitzkrieg while I was at work and decimating the crop. I cried. A lot. This year, we are going with the net approach combined with a frequent harvesting technique. Although the birds still manage to peck through, fly under and shake off a good chunk of the berries I am willing to accept a stalemate in the name of supporting the ecosystem. As long as I get enough to make cherry filling to sit in little jars, like crimson jewels, in the basement waiting to brighten up a dreary February pound cake. Or crumble.
