I'm so glad I'm not alone in my obsession with cherries! I grew up on Wiesbaden, Germany and the little town of nearby Frauenstein has acres of cherry tree! Walking through there during "Kirschblütenzeit" was an annual event. And you also mix Rainier Cherries with Apricots! I made jam with that combination last year and my neighbor thought that was weird. Rainiers & Orange jam is another favorite. I wished I could get those cherry varieties here (outside of Seattle) but have never seen them. I used to add amaretto to my cherry pie filling (and jam too). Kirsch I know is used in the cherries added in the Schwarzwälder Kirsch Torte & cheese fondue.
This was the cherry education I needed in my life
Next comes the graduate-level course.
