Cherry Crisp Using Fresh/Frozen Cherries

Submitted by hermioneg

"I love this crisp recipe - you can easily use other types of fruit and has adequate amounts of fruit and topping. The topping is usually about a half-inch thick, so add more fruit to a 9x13 pan if you like a larger amount of fruit in compairason to topping"

Far too sweet. The sugar didn't congeal due to the vast amount of it in this recipe, so there were lumps of pure sugar on the bottom. Will not make this again.

Delicious. I used a triple cherry mix from Costco and increased the amount by 1 cup to address the sweetness issue. I adjusted the flour as well. It was perfect.

I reduced the sugar to a 1/2 cup and used fresh bing cherries. There was way too much topping and not enough juice/liquid to crisp the crust. It tasted pretty good but next time I'll try anothr recipe. It would work better with frozen cherries than fresh I think.
