SOUR CHERRY SPOON SWEET
From "The World Of Greece: Odyssey" Magazine - May/June 2008 issue. This recipe is for the traditional Greek "Glyko Koutaliou" or "Spoon Sweet." "Syrup-laden baklavas, karydopitta, or even the thicker, cakey ravani-style desserts are served on holidays and special occasions, but the everyday sweet is customarily a spoonful of a glyko koutaliou. To this day, spoon sweets are a traditional offering, literally a sweet welcome for visitors into the Greek home, whether they've come for a chat or on a more formal occasion. Spoon sweets are also served at the village kafeneion, a teaspoon-sized serving on a small dish set before the guest or visitor with a glass of iced water and a cup of strong Greek coffee. Traditionally each household put up their own spoon sweets according to the availability of fruit in season. Sweets were made in small quantities, usually to recipes handed down from one generation to the next." Spoon sweet can be eaten by itself or spooned over yogurt or ice cream. Yield is a guess.

Steps:
- Place the cherries in a colander under cold running water to rinse well. Transfer to a small mixing bowl and add 2 cups cold water. (The water should cover the cherries by about 1 inch.)
- Set aside to soak for 2 hours. Drain well, separately reserving the cherries and the soaking liquid.
- Place the cherries in a small heavy saucepan.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the top to cover the cherries.
- Add a pinch of salt along with the reserved soaking liquid.
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer, without stirring, for 20 minutes.
- Brush the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush from time to time to keep the sugars from crystallizing around the edges.
- Remove from the heat and set aside for at least 2 hours.
- Return the saucepan to high heat and bring to a boil, using a metal spoon to skim off any foam that rises to the top.
- Insert a candy thermometer into the pot and boil for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 230°F to 240°F on the thermometer.
- Stir in the lemon juice and boil for 1 minute.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the kirshwasser and vanilla and set aside to cool.
- When cool, serve or transfer to a non-reactive container, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 months.

SOUR CHERRY OAT CRISP
This was out of inspiration for something to do with my fresh sour cherries. Only got a few this year so wanted to make something really tasty! I think this did it. Very simple and can be adjusted to your needs if fresh sour cherries are not available, but I do not recommend using Bing or sweet red cherries for this. Use sour cherries in the can if you can find them. Enjoy! Refrigerate when completely cooled.

Steps:
- Line the bottom of an oven with aluminum foil to catch spills. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square baking dish with the pie crust.
- Place cherries in a bowl. Let sit in the refrigerator for about 4 hours until juices start to come out. Gently press down on top of the cherries to release juice. Pour off 3/4 cup juice, reserving cherries in the bowl.
- Pour juice into a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon together. Stir mixture into the juice before it starts to steam. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and keep stirring until mixture starts to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.
- Pour juice mixture into the bowl with the cherries; stir until combined. Pour mixture into the prepared crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes while preparing the crumb topping.
- Mix brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter pieces with a fork until they're the size of small peas.
- Remove cherry pie from the oven. Top with the crumb topping and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cut a small hole in the center to help vent. Let cool, at least 1 hour. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500°F.
- Sterilize your 1 pint jar by putting it in the oven for at least 30 minutes. Carefully remove with tongs, and be careful not to touch the jar.

Pour in the cherry juices that have accumulated in the bowl, and reduce for another 5 minutes or until well-thickened.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Remove the spices and discard. Stir in the cherries and almonds and spoon into a sterilized jar or jars.
