Montmorency sour cherries
I happened in at the local farmers market today, just at closing time. One vendor had baskets of these cherries at half price and I couldn't resist. Now I get to pit 2 huge baskets of sour cherries and freeze them. I always make pie with them and would like to try something different. Anyone care to share a favourite recipe for sour cherries?

Those are the kind of cherries we have here in Wisconsin's Door County. Yummy! They're good in coffee cake or muffins, cobbler, stuffing for pork roast, sauce for pork or ham. They're also great as chocolate covered cherries or as dried fruit, but I don't know how to do those.

Where did you find cherries? All I can find here are from the USA and I'm trying to buy local. Please PM me! I'm getting desperate.

My favorite recipe is in the old Betty Crocker Cookbook and is listed at Rhubarb Custard Pie. I use only one crust, and substitute any tart or sour fruit in place of the rhubarb, such as gooseberries, etc.
The ingredients are: Beat slightly-3 eggs, then add 2 2/3 T milk. Mix together and stir in 2 cups sugar, 4 T flour, and 3/4 t nutmeg.(In cherry pie ,I substitute 1/3 t almond flavoring.) Add 4 cups fruit . Pour into prepared crust and dot with butter-1 T. Bake at 400 degrees for 50-60 minutes
