Did you receive Cherries in Kirsch this Christmas? I got 2. I think they are definitely the food gift of the moment. They are a lovely gift (in fact my mum asks me for some every year) but I’m never entirely sure what to do with them – What do you suggest?
I wanted to make something comforting for dessert but also quick and easy to prepare as I have had my 3 year old apprentice with me today. I remembered a pudding I made a while ago that went down a storm. Similar to my Peach & Amaretto Crumble.

Oh that looks delicious. I want some now!
We really need to move closer together! You would be fabulous company over some crunch and a cuppa 🙂 x
What a fab round up! Thank you for hosting and featuring all these yummy recipes!
Believe me, Alida – The pleasure was all mine – My trousers are a little lighter after admiring all these lovely dishes x
Mmm your crumble looks and sounds delish!
I laughed when I saw that you put my bottom is ‘barely there’!! We did indeed do yoga together this week but I suspect I could’ve caused a solar eclipse with the junk in my trunk, hence all my slimming recipes!!
I did a food round up post this week to provide some Valentine’s Day food inspo – hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for hosting such a fab linky Helen:-)
xx
Thanks for the laughs, Nadine! Your Valentine’s roundup is lusciously romantic! x
It looks fantastic and I must admit that I’ve never tried the combination of cherry and pineapple.
I’m super curious now 🙂
Let me know when you try it Winnie! You’ll love it x
Wooooo, I loved this post, all of them look delicious!!! 🙂 🙂
Thanks for the feature Helen. Somehow it looks even better here! I love the look of that crumble too. I always add oats to crumble. They make such an amazing difference to the texture. But I have never added marzipan…. That is genius….. Truly!
To be honest, Kate – There’s not much I don’t add marzipan to! x
