Chef's Tips

Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can be used, but drain them well before adding to the dish.

Don't overbake the clafoutis, as it will become dry. It should be slightly jiggly in the center when done.

For a richer flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla extract.

Clafoutis is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
