I have made this for company twice in the last week as the cherry season is in full swing here. This is WONDERFUL. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and several asked for the recipe. The first time, I made only 1/2 the recipe and filled 4 individual-sized tart tins. The second time, I used a 9" pan and it worked beautifully. Both times, I served it with whipped cream with a little Grand Marnier thrown in instead of vanilla. The only other comment I had was that on #6 of the instructions, you mention milk. I assumed that you meant orange juice as it isn't mentioned in the instructions, but is in the ingredient list. Great recipe.

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
