Fresh cherry clafoutis

Description:
This is a classic French recipe and is wonderful when fresh cherries are in season. Do be careful of your hands as cherries will stain badly and it is not a look that you need with your newly applied manicure! This recipe works well with rhubarb or poached apple when cherries are out of season.
