Cherry Clafouti image

When fresh cherries are in season this makes a delicious, simple desert. Serve warm with a little pouring cream or vanilla frozen yogurt...YUM. Recipe from a Mediterranean cookbook. ( You can use 2 15 oz. cans of stoned black cherries, thoroughly drained, if fresh aren't available.) You might also add kirsch to the batter for a special dessert!
