“Clafoutis aux Cerises” or Sherry Clafoutis is one of my favorite deserts that my mom prepared during the “Temps des Cerises”, the Sherry season in Provence. I remember it like yesterday, it was at the end of May beginning of June. We had many sherry trees on the farm where I grew up, it was an easy and fun picking.
Clafoutis is traditionally made with Sherry but all kinds of fruits can be used; peach, apple, pineapple, etc..
The fruits can be fresh, frozen works well too.

Have you ever wondered why most of the Vinaigrettes in the grocery store are made with 10, 20, sometimes even almost 30 ingredients? I remember growing up in Provence watching my mother whipping vinaigrettes before every single dinner. She would mix in a giant bowl, delicious extra virgin olive oil, a robust aged vinegar (the flavor would depend on the main dish), sea salt and pepper and voila! I decided to do the same thing for my family and friends more than 20 years ago here in this beautiful country. And Provence Kitchen® was born.
