Farmer's Market -- 17 Jul 11

[crafty_packrat]

Batard of white bread, pint of blueberries, pint of blackberries, 3 pints bing cherries, apricots, shiro plums, tomatillos, zucchinni, sample size strawberry jam, dozen small eggs, chicken empanada, and cheese danish

Made white chocolate cakes out of Small Batch Baking this morning -- used 4 inch springform pans instead of empty 15 oz tin cans, so the cakes are shorter, but a lot easier to get out than recipe suggests. The rustic cherry pies are in the oven.

Looks like you hit the market early today. did you use bing cherries for pies? Hoe did you pit?

Yup, I used some of the cherries for pies. I'm also planning on making the base for cherry cheesecake ice cream soon. I have an olive/cherry pitter, so it's a bit tedious, but doable to pit a cup and 1/2 of cherries

Otoh, the cherry pies spilled pretty badly, and I have sticky caramelized/burnt cherry goo to scrap off my silicon baking sheet. I think I need to work on my recipe. :(
