My neighbor has a cherry tree.

But she doesn’t like cherries.

What does that mean? Neighborhood cherry picking! With the help of the kiddos, we bagged (or colander-ed) ourselves quite a lot of cherries. And as I stood there with the 8-plus cups of cherries, I had a moment of panic…what the heck am I going to do with all of these?

Cherry pie? Sure. That was tempting. But I decided to tap Pinterest to see if I could find anything else. And I did.

These are actually Almond Oat Cranberry Bars, but cranberries are tart so wouldn’t it follow that tart cherries could be a good substitute? Why, yes. Yes, it does follow.
