We love fresh cherries. The guys will eat them by the handfuls, after I pit them, of course. But both claim not to like cooked cherries in anything. Nasty hot here today, so I went looking for a recipe that was easy to put together, and looked worth running the oven for. These blondies from Sassy Southern Mommy had great potential.
A few minor changes- I was short on the chocolate chips, so I upped the amount of cherries. My cherries were huge, so I halved them when I pitted them, then cut each half again before putting them in the measuring cup. I ended up using about 1 1/4c of quartered cherries. The directions mention vanilla, but doesn't give a quantity, I used 1 teaspoon. I also added a pinch of kosher salt with my flour.
The guys have gone to the movies, and I'm sitting here alone in the house with the blondies, and I'm finding myself hoping that they really don't like them so that I can have them all to myself. Chocolate and cherry are one of my favorite flavor combinations. Thanks so much to Jessica for her wonderful recipe!
