Here I would like to show you my traditional and delicious French Cherry Gratin recipe.
Such a cherry gratin is a great dessert, which you can also bring warm on the table. Your guests will definitely like it!
Clafoutis, that’s the French name, you can prepare with fresh cherries or with canned cherries. It is important to remember that the cherries must be stoned!
You can also use other fruits such as pears, apricots, berries and strawberries. But cherries are typical for this fine dessert à la Maman.
I wish you a lot of fun with the preparation and a good appetite!
