MmMmmmm. My brother passed along this little gem today and I had to share it! From the latest and greatest June Issue of Bon Appetit. I can’t wait to make this for myself, especially now that cherries are in perfect season. That said, as fast as those cherries are ripe for the picking, they are just as quickly gone…so if you are going to do this recipe right, try it soon!

Thanks Brian for sending, and hopefully we can sit down to a dinner table together soon and try this out together!
