Personal Notes:
The first full summer in Nick's new house, I decided to do something with the cherries from our tree. I spent a couple of days picking them all and then a few more with them covering the kitchen table for processing. I washed/pitted them all and dried some, stuck some in rum, froze some for later, and made tarts with the rest.

The recipe Erik and I found for the tarts was absolutely delicious and we wanted to share it! We used frozen tarts (Tenderflake) for the tarts, and made 'lids' by smooshing up a frozen pie crust we had that had cracked. If anyone makes yummy pastry, I bet it would be that much better!

It was difficult but, we did save a couple of tarts for when Nick returned home from work. Afterall, it is his cherry tree!!
