Very nice! I found the crust to be tasty (and use 1/4 cup egg substitute instead of the yolk) but would not use all the dough next time (crust was a little thick). I used half pitted cherries that I had frozen - I think I would increase to 3 cups (love those cherries) or maybe use a blend of cherries and blueberries. An easy & delicious tart, I will make this again.Reply
