on cherries and savor


"when perfectly ripe and deliciously juicy sweet cherries need no embellishment."
"if you can resist eating them straight from the bag 
give them a good rinse and savor them just as they are"

They look just scrumptious! Cathy

Bee said...

What lovely pictures! I can actually see the moisture on those luscious cherries.

Do you know, the ONLY time I've ever been to Wisconsin was a childhood summer. One of my preeminent memories is picking cherries -- and eating them until my belly ached! My mother made jam with the rest.

Totally gorgeous photos and I do love, love cherries right from the tree if possible. Two cherry trees sit in my yard. Some years we get alot and some years none. This year it looks like it will be a few to hand pick and devour right there.

I adore cherries…..sadly every single one on our tree is riddled with maggots. Oh I had such major cherry jam plans that have come to nothing :(

...and captured by you, they just look even more tentalicious ! I also love that you're quoting Skye Gyngell, i've just discovered her some time ago and fell in love with her ! I'm going to London this week end and hopefully i can make it to Petersham nurseries just to catch a glimpse of this kitchen goddess :-)
Enjoy the day and the cherries, dear friend...
