Whole Cherry Clafoutis

Bonjour ! We are back from our lovely trip to the Loire Valley and Nana even managed to knock out this week's recipe.......

Per Nana~
This week's recipe is so simple and easy to make and the variations are endless with
all the fresh summer fruit that is available now. Instead of using the fresh cherries I decided to make my clafoutis with fresh blueberries.
Since I am not a fan of either cherries or blueberries, Hubby gets to enjoy the whole dish. Truthfully, I did taste the pudding and thought it was good. I researched some other recipes for clafoutis and came across many variations, including plum, pears, etc..
I look forward to trying them all.
Per Tricia~
Sorry all, but I am still adjusting to la rentrĂ©e and have not finished laundry or my email catch up from work :)  But it was so worth it. I will catch up on this recipe and also share photos but promise not to "photo bomb" the blog. I think I will limit it to a link to shots we took of kitchens from various chateaus. Tons of copper, but not a Vitamix in sight......

PS- We tried to catch up with Mardi but our schedules were not in sync, and for our one day in Paris she ended up in the UK. All the more reason to try for a New York get together for Doristas ????

  5. Oh, what a wonderful holiday Trish and Nana! I have never been to the Loire Valley, but the beautiful sunny skies make me truly want to go. Nana, your clafoutis looks lovely, and I am glad your hubby enjoyed it. I have not been to NY forever and would see what I could do to get there.

  6. Wow, glad I cut my cherries in half.. does seem like a lot. I didn't find this too interesting either. Ok, but not quiet sweet enough or creamy enough.

  11. Lovely variation, Nana! I think it's going to be well worth repeating with all the fruits of summer.

    Tricia - I'm looking forward to seeing as many photos as you'd like to share with us!

  14. Can't wait to see the photos. I don't thin it's a bad think if you "photo bomb". I'm in for a Northeast Dorista get together, plus you are going to Seattle in Sept right? I'm looking forward to that too. I didn't get a chance to make this yet, but hope to catch up soon. Welcome home!

  15. Can't wait to hear about the trip. I've yet to visit the Loire Valley. And very impressed that Nana managed to fit this dish in. I really liked the blueberry version.

  16. Bienvenue. I insist upon photo bombing also. Would love to see every single picture. I hope you enjoyed Paris enough for moi aussi. Nana, you don't like cherries or blueberries? Hmmmm All fruit or just those two. This clafoutis is too delicious not to enjoy. However, the pudding is tasty on its own. Love the big slab of ice cream right in the middle. Know you're both jet-lagged. I'm on for a get-together in NY also. Are west coasters invited?
