Two seriously good new cherry recipes

Let's Get Lost bonus issue, August 3, 2024

We are in Door County, Wisconsin for a few weeks and surrounded by cherry orchards that are bursting at the seams with ripe, juicy cherries. It’s heaven.

There is, in fact, a cherry orchard and farmer’s market across the street from our campground. We’ve been here 6 days and I’ve made a trip to that market on three of them.

Besides eating them by the handful, what’s a girl to do when surrounded by an abundance of fresh cherries? Bake, of course.

I gotta say, it’s been a really delicious week around here. (My husband says his official title is “Chief Taste Tester” and he’s worked really hard this week.)

In the rest of this issue, you’ll find recipes for Cherry Cream Cake and Cherry Basil Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze. This is a bonus issue for paid subscribers, so if those sound good to you, this is the perfect excuse to upgrade to a paid subscription. ❤️

And, if you are the type of person who can’t have too many cherry recipes, here’s a few more favorites:

• Cherry pie with butter crumb topping

• Quick and easy homemade cherry sauce

• Cherry shortbread crumble bars

• Cherry cream cheese turnovers

• White forest cake

Cherry Cream Cake

Here’s what we’ve got going on here:

1. Two layers of brown butter cake

2. Pastry cream made with coconut milk and lots of vanilla

3. Cherry sauce

4. Diplomat cream frosting (pastry cream + whipped cream) 

5. More cherry sauce
