I have: Some puff pastry, a large jar of TJ's Dark Morello Cherries, some heavy cream and

all the other pantry staples.

What do I make?

What about something like this rustic cherry tart?

My cookbook club focussed on Bill Granger's cookbooks last year and the recipes all turned out great.

Cut the pastry. without rolling into individual rectangles. Glaze with egg. Bake at 400*F until

puffed and crisp. Split open like an English muffin. Put the base on a plate and top with whatever you'd like, maybe the cherries with their juices reduced and sweetened. Some pasty cream or custard underneath the cherries would be nice. Top with whipped cream or creme fraiche and then the top of the pastry, askew.

I've done this with caramlized pears and pastry cream, strawberries with whipped cream, and asparagus with hollandaise. I've never tried it with cherries, but I might just have to.

Cherry Clafouti!

Bad sentence! I meant don't roll it; leave it as thick as possible so it will puff up high.

Cherries Jubilee with a side of fabulous puff pastry sticks?

They all sound great- thanks. Think I'm going with Joe's suggestion using pastry cream.

I have made bread pudding with these cherries.

Cyn, I should have said 450*F. But maybe the package has instructions.
