You can always season it and make it without using a crust on the bottom or make Apple Betty to keep from having so much pie crust to eat. Putting an oatmeal based topping would make it even better. <br /><br />I might dehydrate some of these cherries to see what they are like.

I became tired of the longing for cherries, so since I had that refund that was just extra money, I decided to buy cherries, 3.5 lbs. and try freezing. That way, I can have a treat throughout the year. Okay, and no gout. Cherry juice is so expensive that fresh produce is the better bargain.

Even if I paid a premium price, my children had apple and banana each day of their lives. When my children were 2,7, and 9, I halved and cored an apple and gave the little one a slice off each half and that was how much apple they ate each day. With a banana, at those ages, the older ones got a banana with a bit more than an inch cut off theirs for the baby. And. there was no regular purchase of soda and chips. One day, my son, then seven, asked me if it were the 4th of July since I bought chips AND hot dog buns. Usually, there were no chips and just bread to wrap a hot dog. <br /><br />I don't look forward to pitting them.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-84055458639686508292014-07-30T15:25:36.301-05:002014-07-30T15:25:36.301-05:00I think these came from Oregon.

I was left with a bucket of green tomatoes after we pruned broken limbs and fixed tomato cages. I'm looking for things to do with green tomatoes other than frying (which I love, but I have to watch the cholesterol!). <br /><br />Once again, you mentioned the dehydrator. I have to get mine out and get beyond jerky! It's such a great idea.<br /><br />Cherdo<br />www.cherdoontheflipside.comCherdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264612202714933480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-39946116327215577982014-07-30T09:42:58.443-05:002014-07-30T09:42:58.443-05:00Hi Linda...we also freeze cherries to eat all wint...Hi Linda...we also freeze cherries to eat all winter. I have found the easiest eay for me is to wash them put them in a clean plastic bag and pound them with the flat side of a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. This loosens up the pit. Then I use a chopstick blunt end to push the pit out. My nails and fingers are stained for a week, but at least I know we will never get gout!

You scored some fine bargains. Cherries are a pain to de-pit. I don't find any of the "gadgets" to be any better.
