Easy to make and really clear instructions which was so important because I was on unfamiliar territory making something like this in the microwave. The only changes I made were to reduce the sugar (I used brown) to one tablespoon and therefore to increase the crumbs by a tablespoon, and to use a well-drained can of whole black cherries instead of the cherry pie filling. I cooked these in microwave-safe ramekins. They looked and tasted fabulous! Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe.

Considering this complete recipe was done in the microwave it turned out excellent! I did mine in silicone muffin tins in place of the custard cups, lined with paper liners and used 2 tablespoons cracker crumbs (I really did not measure) I topped mine with whipped cream in place of the cherry pie filling. Very easy recipe Paula, thanks so much!...Kitten:)

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
