A summer with fewer plans sounds dreamy. The garden is a good reason to slow down. Among other reasons. There are little baby apples and cherries in the making, to say nothing of quince, so I have been madly using up last year's preserves in order to make way for the new. I used this recipe for the last of the canned cherries. I thought to share it as it is delicious.

Top with whatever you like... (cherries?).
