It was with a flurry of excitement that I picked all the cherries off our 2 year old cherry tree yesterday. Quite a few had been lost to splitting (but were scoffed by the 'ladies' with glee) from the extended dry patch we had not so long ago and then the sudden deluge of rains we have had of late, but those that survived filled a small bowl and were scoffed last night after dinner with relish! Lovely Morello cherries...soft and ever so slightly sour.
I'm hoping next year will bring a bumper crop that I can turn into jam at the very least and a cherry pie at the very best!
