Farmer's market -- 10 July 11

Pint of cherries, pint of blueberries, pint of blackberries, pint of methley plums, 3 small zucchini ,small melon (about the size of a grapefruit -- I should be able to eat it in a week), batard of white bread, 5 oz of feta, 1/2 lb of quark, cheese danish and chicken empanada.

I have found a recipe for Käsekuchen and gotten myself a springform pan, so I'll try that sometime this weekend. Also, I've bought a copy of Small Batch Baking and plan to try many of the recipes, though I think I'm going to have to go online to get 4-inch tart pans with removable bottoms and maybe mousse rings and jumbo muffin tin (for small pies and upside-down cakes).

Montmorency cherry clafouti

I used the recipe from my old copy of How to Cook Everything -- the one that's broken in the spine in two places, but has some recipes the new version doesn't -- and upped the sugar by a tablespoon.

The cherry pits are sitting in a glass jar under a mix of white vinegar and balsamic. This was a recommendation for making a cherry vinegar that I heard on A Splendid Table two weeks ago. We'll see if it works.
