Cherry amandines — Amandines aux cerises
The church bells rang four o’clock. The afternoon felt warm, certainly less cool than some days we’d had in May.
“Bing bang!” Lulu exclaimed with a smile. She was already used to the cyclical pattern of the church bells in the village. No matter the time of day. One o’clock. One thirty. Two o’clock….I pulled out a blanket and arrange it under the cherry tree where we sat.
Lulu was busy collecting pebbles that she dropped, one after another, in one of the small metallic buckets my father likes to keep outside. The air was filled with a light breeze that was moving gently between the leaves, which caught her attention. I looked up at the patches of red nested in the foliage, which indicated that the cherries were ripening…finally…
“On les cueille dans quelques jours?” I asked my father who was just walking by. (We’ll pick them in a few days?) He’d admonished me for stealing some that he assured me were not yet ripe. “Tu vas avoir mal au ventre,” he had added in a fatherly tone. (You”ll have a sore stomach)
Did I care? Fresh cherries are a weakness. Cherries picked right from the tree are a necessity. I was glad to be there at this time of year, even if the season started late.
The next day, my father pulled the ladder up against the tree and started to work. After one hour, we had a few buckets filled with beautiful fruit.
Lulu who was watching from a distance was running around with excitement, walking back and forth between us to feed us with cherries. My father picked her up and carried her closer to the tree. “Prends une cerise,” he whispered, prompting her to pick a few cherries herself. She was hesitant at first but then extended her arm to reach for the fruit. I was watching the scene. So pleased to see the proud look on her face as she was drawing a bright red cherry to her lips.
“Je fais un dessert aux cerises ce soir?” I asked. (Shall I make a dessert with cherries?)
It wasn’t necessary to ask. That night, after indulging in salads served with BBQ-ed steaks of deer, we ate cherries baked in a flan made of almond, eggs, sugar, butter and cream. It was a delicious dessert extremely simple and quick to prepare, ideal to seal the evening meal we enjoyed outside as we sat with our feet brushing the grass.
Ah the first cherries of the season!
You need:
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, slightly cooled
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon almond meal, or finely ground blanched almonds
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon blond cane sugar (or light brown sugar)
- 1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out, or 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 tablespoons crème fraiche or mascarpone
- 12.5 oz cherries
Steps:
- Preheat the oven at 400 F and butter four small (5 inches) oven-proof ramekins. Wash the cherries (remove the pits, if you prefer); set aside.
- In a bowl, beat the butter with the almonds, vanilla seeds and sugar.
- Add the eggs, one by one, until well incorporated. Beat in the cream.
- Divide this batter between the ramekins and arrange the cherries on top. Bake the desserts for 20 minutes, or until the flan is set and golden in color. Let cool before eating (I personally prefer to eat the dessert lukewarm).
Ingrédients :
- 2 gros oeufs
- 60 g de beurre non salé fondu, légèrement refroidi
- 60 g de poudre d’amandes
- 60 g de sucre de canne blond ou de sucre Demerara
- 1/2 gousse de vanille, fendue et grattée ou 1/2 càc d’extrait de vanille pur
- 2,5 càs de crème fraiche ou de mascarpone
- 350 g de cerises
Steps:
- Préchauffez le four à 200 C et beurrez 4 ramequins (12,5 cm) résistant à la chaleur. Lavez les cerises et dénoyautez-les si vous le souhaitez; mettez de côté.
- Dans un bol, mélangez le beurre fondu, les amandes, la vanille et le sucre.
- Ajoutez les oeufs, un après l’autre, et mélangez bien. Ajoutez ensuite la crème.
- Divisez cette crème entre les ramequins et arrangez les cerises. Faites cuire pendant 20 minutes, ou jusqu’à ce que le dessus soit doré. Laissez refroidir mais servez tiède si possible.

Oh my goodness–Cherries!!
My favorite fruit of all. Gorgeous images. (that last pic of Lulu–swoon! adorable!)
our cherries won’t be ripe yet for a few more weeks, but the birds come from everywhere to get them before us….

What a beautiful story. There is just something about fresh food from the source. I had a similar experience in the Napa Valley a few weeks ago and literally posted a blog today! Fresh eggs right from the chicken pen. Would love for you to check it out if you have a free moment. http://sarahwinchester.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/napa-style/
Also, beautiful photos. That cherry color red it beyond!

Comment by Amanda — On June, 17th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
I feel like I just returned from follicking through the French countryside. These photos are stunning, and the lipstick red cherries looks so luscious that they might as well be forbidden fruit.
Comment by Christine @ Fresh Local and Best — On June, 17th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Oh what stunning photos (as usual!) We picked up some lovely cherries on Sunday morning from our local farmer’s market and I had such good plans for them…Unfortunately they never made it to my recipe, they instead were all consumed by sundown. We could not resisit. What beautiful colors in Lulu’s outfit…She looks like a colorful bowl of precious cherries!!

les photos donnent envie de déguster ces cerises…
Tu as raison.. des cerises prises sur l’arbre… quel régal.
En faire des boucles d’oreillle pour les petites qui adorent ça…
En espérant que ce billet soit le signe d’une énergie retrouvée et de moments apaisés…

Comment by tamara — On June, 17th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
impossible d’attendre, c’est une certitude! J’ai fait le même chose la semaine dernière : des cerises déjà très acides par natures… et là, même pas encore tout à fait mûres… mais quel plaisir de les manger comme ça!
Ta France est envoutante!

Good to have you back Bea. We’ve missed you. It is strawberry season where I live (Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia) so I’m going to try the recipe with big plump gorgeous strawberries!!!
Comment by Natalie — On June, 17th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
What a beautiful treat! I can never seem to keep the cherries around long enough to bake with them – they disappear almost as soon as I bring them in the house!

so cute lulu~
now it’s realy the cherry-season!
Comment by YOYO love cooking — On June, 17th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Almonds and cheeries, what a perfect marriage of flavors, though I fear the almonds may have a later affair with some fresh peaches of mine (if I have anything to say about it). Merci . I love this recipe. (Take that, Monsieur Clafouti!)

Une bonne variation sur le thème des clafoutis! Que pourrais utiliser comme alternative à la crème fraiche si un de mes invités est allergique au lactose?

J’aime bien quand tu nous racontes ces petits potins de ton quotidien et celui de la petite Lulu.
Ce dessert me tente vraiment, d’autant plus que j’ai rapporté hier des cerises. Non pas de chez nous car y a pas de cerises au Québec, mais peu importe, elles sont tellement bonnes.
Comment by Miss Diane — On June, 18th, 2010 at 8:31 am

Lulu is absolutely adorable, Bea! I love how you dress her, so pretty.
That is a mouthwatering dessert – I’ll save it for the end of the year, when cherries will be available here in Brazil.
It is great to see you blogging again. Hope you’re feeling better, dearie.

Dear Bea, so lovely to read this post. text and photoes make up for pure poetry and I always have a wonderfuj ‘journey’ when I visit your blog. Love the recipe. Tried your clafoutis with strawberry, rhubard and coconut milk today. it was a hit. Thank you for all these beautiful recipes

Comment by Ayu — On June, 18th, 2010 at 9:30 am
Dear Bea,
Can I tell you how much in awe I am of your photography? It never ceases to amaze me how you can make the simplest thing look so beautiful. I’ve recently started a blog since I’m in love with everything about food. I’m an amateur photographer and learning has never been so much fun. Are there any books or sites you can recommend for food photography? Any advice you have (or a pointer to any post on this site that I may have missed) will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Comment by Heena — On June, 18th, 2010 at 9:32 am
Stunning photography as usual. I am amazed at how as a reader I am able to see your Lulu grow from baby to toddler and the different food you give her from when she was a baby. Isn’t that amazing? :0
Comment by Corrine — On June, 18th, 2010 at 11:58 am
Thank you everyone for the very kind words. It warms my heart, in this challenging time for us.
As to replacing the cream, use coconut milk instead. Use the creamiest, thickest of it you can (perhaps before stirring it too much)?
Comment by Béa — On June, 18th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Oh my, those are some absolutely beautiful pictures! I love seeing things through your eyes. And that last photo of Lulu is perfect – look at those lips! And those cheeks!

Comment by Béa — On June, 19th, 2010 at 6:53 am
Béa, reading your post is like getting a favourite magazine as I did when I was a youngster. It was called “100 ideés” and came all the way from France by sea mail, which took about two months. It has not been published for decades but your shots have the same sense of style and and are even more inspirational to me now because I’m in the food world. Welcome back.

Lovely pictures Bea and the French countryside is really something.. don’t I wish I was there with you or could have a holidy like this in the French countryside.. just to be able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.. and what got me was the sound church bell tolling!!
I was just telling my daughter (who happened to come by my table) about your blog and Lulu.. She’s grown so much!
BTW, my daughter took the name Marie (French version of Mary) for her confirmation name.. I know it’s your grandmother’s name too. We missed you Bea.. and Lulu too!

Your pictures bring tears to my eyes they are so beautiful. I miss the fields and the open outdoors, always so mesmerizing to me. I bet Lulu looks just like you with her pretty red (cherry) lips and curly hair. Both of you are so fortunate to have one another.
When I saw the recipe-I high tailed it to the Farmer’s Market- and, low and behold, cherries are early this year. I made it today and it was ooh ooh soooo delicious. Will be making this for lunch guests I am having on tuesday. Thank you Bea

Comment by fragolina — On June, 21st, 2010 at 8:40 am
Fragolina, thank you!
You can definitely do the same dessert in a larger dish, oven-proof. Make sure not to use one that is too big though, since this dessert is for 4 servings. Otherwise you might want to double the quantities.
