Are husk cherries taking over your counters?
By Linda Dansbury

Member Carolyn Diana sent me a note about using the husk cherries that sounds delicious! Thanks for taking the time to send this Carolyn!

She says "after salsas and sauces, she was running out of ideas on how to use them, so she tried the following recipe for a crumble and she said it turned out great. The cherries were mixed with enough fruit so it didn't taste tomato-y - she will definitely make it again!"

Mix 3 cups of fruit into a pie dish - she used a quart of husk cherries(but once the paper husks were removed, it was less), a sliced banana, some frozen strawberries and blueberries, a chopped apple, and one chopped up date.

Toss fruit with a little sugar - Carolyn used Truvia, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, and a 1/4 cup of flour. Carolyn used oat flour.

In another bowl, mix 1 cup flour(again oat flour), 3/4 cup old fashioned oats, 1/4 cup sugar(again Truvia), dash of salt, 6 Tablespoons butter or coconut oil, or a combo - Carolyn used the combo.

Sprinkle the mixture over fruit and bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes.
