Blogger's Favourite Cherry Recipes, sweet & savoury

The Blogger loves cherries, having spent countless summers feasting on the superb specimens of gloriously scented fruit from a Valley on the West Coast of Canada.  

And who doesn't love cherries during its short but gorgous season?

With these recipes from the Archive, however, there's a bonus.  Nearly all are  low fat and sugar and have a unique flavour twist.

Try them all; you won't look back


 

EXOTIC CHERRY SALSA: with Cream Cheese on bread or Poulry in Carb-free Rolls

Sounds  improbable until you try it; the cherry and onion blend so well.  It's perfect with cold meat and good bread but will also be good on top of melon. Lower carb,  wallet-friendly,  good fibre, veg or animal protein; vegan option
EXOTIC CHERRY SALSA

 



CHERRY GARCIA ICE CREAM PIE

Choc-a-block with chunks of fresh cherry and dark chocolate, elevated with the addition of cherry brandy, this is a superb dessert for a special occasion on a steaming hot evening.  No baking involved!  The contrast of deep pink, white fluffy mounds of cream and crushed chocolate biscuits is irresistable...and the layers of flavour are glorious. 



LOWER SUGAR CHERRY COCONUT MACAROONS

Iindescribably yummy lower-sugar Cherry Coconut Macarons inspired by the London Royal Opera House: low fat, quick & easy. Short cooking time.  The ones seen here feature cherries but they're just as good with chocolate chips stirred in.  Or with the bottoms dipped in melted chocolate or drizzled over.  




DIETERS' DELIGHT SKINNY CHERRY AMOND SLICES

Cherry Bakewell without pastry or jam, and lower in fat and sugar.  The modified frangipane produces a gloriously light and airy fine-crumbled layer, firm enough to stand on its own.  Designed for small households, it'll provide 10 decent-sized bars but multiplies easily.  Weight Watching Taster described them as 'absolutely gorgeous; the sweet of my dreams.'
