I've been trying to experience everything possible I can maker with them but still haven't made a sour cherry pie. May go see if I can pick some more this week so I feel I've given it my best shot. There are still some Morellos on the tree. Pitting them is a labour of love though. This is my first year working with cherries and I think it is a particularly good one for cherries here in the UK.

They are sitting in the freezer, awaiting their chance. These preserves look incredible!

Mine became a pie, some canned for later pies, and about 8 jelly jars of Cherry Marmalade. Your post reminded me that I hadn't put it on my blog yet. <a href="http://greensandjeans.blogspot.com/2010/07/sour-cherries.html" rel="nofollow">Here's my Cherry Marmalade</a>.

I was so excited that our current heat wave could not prevent me from canning sour cherry jam (with no commercial pectin) and picking way more then I should. The u-pick was only open for 1 day. I blogged about the sour cherries today as well. -Robin I finally got to play with sour cherries this year as well.

I canned Oxheart cherries in port, maraschino cherries with Queen Annes, cherry vanilla pie filling with sour cherries, and last of all came along this dark, rich, deep black cherry with unbelievable sweetness who's name I missed, that I turned into goat cheese cherry ice cream using this recipe from IcecreamIreland.com: http://icecreamireland.com/2009/06/17/goats-cheese-ice-cream/ The tangy taste of the ice cream just set off those pitted and chopped cherries and juice stirred in at the end of the churning!!
