Notes
Can I use frozen cherries?
Yes, you can use frozen, unsweetened, pitted cherries in place of fresh ones.Can I freeze cooked cherry clafoutis?
Yes! I had some left over from all my testing. I wrapped it up well and popped it in the freezer. We enjoyed it for the next month. Not sure how long it will last past that.Nutrition
