Barnetts Mega Sour Cherry Flavour Sweets, 500 g

Product Information

Before the Second World War there were more than fifty cultivars of sour cherry in cultivation in England; today, however, few are grown commercially, and despite the continuation of named cultivars such as 'Kentish Red', 'Amarelles', 'Griottes' and 'Flemish', only the generic Morello is offered by most nurseries. This is a late-flowering variety, and thus misses more frosts than its sweet counterpart and is therefore a more reliable cropper. The Morello cherry ripens in mid to late summer, toward the end of August in southern England. It is self-fertile, and would be a good pollenizer for other varieties if it did not flower so late in the season. Speaking of cherry treats, don’t forget that Cola can come in many flavours, and of course one of those is cherry! Few treats can be that sugary and still taste delicious but Fizzy Cherry Cola bottles are without a doubt the best!

Pour cherries and their juices** into the prepared pan and then pour batter on top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until the centre is set, the edges are brown, and the top is light brown all over. Rotate the clafouti once in the oven if needed for even browning. This recipe is adapted from Michel Roux’s Desserts. It is one of my favourite of all cakes, and all chocolate things, and is especially good with fresh red fruits like cherries and raspberries. And it happens to be gluten free (just make sure to flour the buttered parchment with gluten free flour).Refrigerate the filled cake for a couple of hours to soften, and serve chilled with the fresh cherries. The cake can also be made the day before and served deep chilled. It will settle a little, but still taste delicious. Wash and dry the cherries and stone* them (or not, as you please). Macerate in the 3 T sugar and the kirsch and Grand Marnier, if using, for about 2 hours. You will need a shallow rectangular baking pan measuring 26x30cm (a10x12-inch “jelly roll” or “sponge roll” pan is ideal). Butter it and line with parchment paper. Butter the parchment paper, too, and flour it, using gluten-free flour if you want the cake to be wholly gluten-free.

Few things in life are more delicious than a wide array of cherry sweets! It is always amazing how whenever there is a bag of sweets around, the cherry options are the first ones to go. Just the mere sight of a Cherry Tangfastic or Cherry Lips can tantalise your tastebuds, but why do we love cheery sweets so much? Dried sour cherries are used in cooking including soups, pork dishes, cakes, tarts, and pies. Also used to make a jam/fruit spread.

The sour cherry has a number of other uses. The seed contains an edible oil which is used in cosmetics, the stem produces a gum which can act as an adhesive, while a green dye can be obtained from the leaves and a dark grey to green dye from the fruit. Prunus cerasus ( sour cherry, [3] tart cherry, or dwarf cherry [4]) is a species of Prunus in the subgenus Cerasus ( cherries), native to much of Europe, North Africa and West Asia. It is closely related to the sweet cherry ( Prunus avium), but has a fruit that is more acidic. Its sour pulp is edible. [5]

Value to wildlife

The newest, biggest, kind of hip thing to do with sour cherries,” said Nikki, “is to turn them into dried cherries. If you were to dry a sweet cherry, it just wouldn’t have the acidity and that distinctive cherry flavor—it would tend to just get sweet and bland.” Archived copy" (PDF).
