Sweet and sour cherries are used to make many desserts, including cherry pie, cobbler, and jubilee. Cherries are best eaten fresh or in cold desserts, as they lose flavor when reheated. Canned cherries are often used in quick recipes.
The two types of cherries are sweet and sour. Tart or sour cherries are used fresh, canned, or dried to make many cherry desserts. Cherries don’t cook well as they tend to lose their flavor when reheated. They are good for eating fresh or for use in cold desserts such as ice cream. Cherry cheesecake, cherry pie, cherry jubilee, cherry cobbler, and cherry pie are some of the most famous desserts made with cherries.
Cherry Pie is one of the most famous cherry desserts. Cherry pies are typically double crust pies and the top crust may be a lattice crust. Lattice rinds have long strips of pastry spaced across the top of the fruit. The strips of dough overlap and under the round to create a braided look. Fresh cherries are traditionally used to make cherry pie, but canned pie filling is also often used.
Fresh cherries can be cooked in a Cherry Cobbler or combined with other fruits to make a Fruit Cobbler. This is one of the cherry-based desserts where the fruit is usually baked before being baked. The cherries are heated with sugar and cornstarch in a skillet on the stove first and then placed in a roasting pan. Spoons of soft dough are placed on top of the fruit before cooking. Cherry Cobbler is served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Cherries Jubilee is one of the fancier desserts made with cherries, but it’s also quite simple. You can also use canned cherries as the cherry juice is needed to thicken with cornstarch to make the thick sauce. A liqueur such as cognac is added to the cherries and lit with a match. Cherry Jubilee is served flambeed, or flaming, and flaming cherries are served over ice cream. Chef Auguste Escoffier is credited with inventing the Jubilee cherry when he served it at a Jubilee celebration for Queen Victoria.
Cherry pie, cherry bread, and cherry cheesecake are other popular desserts made with cherries. Cherry pie can come in all sorts of variations, and many of these are quick recipes made with canned cherry pie filling. A cherry streusel pie has a layer of pie covered in cherries and topped with a streusel crumb mixture of brown sugar, butter, and oats. Cherry bread is similar to banana bread in that it is made in a skillet and usually has nuts added. Cherry cheesecake is made similar to strawberry cheesecake, and fresh, frozen, or canned cherries can be used.
