[Sca-cooks] Cherries cherries and more cherries

[Kathleen A Roberts]

i am not big on desserts, but here is something my mother 
used to make that i loved as a kid.

1 recipe biscuit dough
1 qt. pitted cherries
2 tbsp butter
1 c sugar

cheesecloth

steamer arrangement of choice.

roll bisquit dough into rectangle.   place cherries on 
top, leaving about an inch all around the perimeter of the 
dough.  sprinkle with sugar and dot with butter.  roll up 
the dough, trying to keep the cherries inside. ;)   pinch 
the edges together.

wrap in cheesecloth and place on a rack/plate/whatever and 
steam for about one and a half hours.

serve warm with a warm thin custard sauce.

really good with the little blue plums as well.  they get 
really purply-juicy.
