Cherry Crumble Bars
Oh, how I love sweet cherries! They are in season for far too short a time, so I jump on them as soon as I see a good sale. As a little girl, I remember my Grandmommy putting them in the freezer, pits and all. Later on in the evening, we would take them out and enjoy them as a frozen treat. I've carried on that sweet "tradition" with my little sous chef, but I wanted to use them in something special now that she's out of school. I decided to make crumble bars, and they turned out fantastic! They are a perfect summer treat for breakfast or dessert!
A note on pitting cherries: Once cherries go on sale, I immediately put them in my freezer, without pitting them. Once I'm ready to use them, I run them under warm water in a colander for a minute or two in order to partially thaw them out. I then pit them using a pastry tip. When the cherries are partially frozen, they are easier to pit and the juices don't run everywhere.
