My frozen homegrown blueberries needed to be used up. I found this 1950’s recipe different as there was no actual sugar in the ingredients, only a small amount of blueberry preserves for sweetness.

Have you ever tasted Clafoutis? I decided to make this for my granddaughter because she is in her second year of taking French class in high school. This is an easy and quick dessert, like a cross between cake and custard with delicious sour cherries to offset the sweetness. I used frozen sour cherries, but fresh sour cherries will also […]
