Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C. Lightly oil a shallow 1.3 litre baking dish. Gently heat the cherries and jam in a large saucepan, stirring all the time until the jam melts over the cherries. Tip them into the dish and sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice.
  2. Whizz the flour, eggs, milk, cinnamon and sugar in a food processor for 30 seconds until smooth. Pour over the cherries, then put the dish on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the custard is set and the jam is beginning to bubble through. Dust with icing sugar and serve hot.

    I made this with a tin of cherry pie filling instead of the cherrys and jam and it worked very well. I found the cooking time of 25 to 30 mins way under. Actually more like 45 to 50 mins. Also there was a lot more than 2 servings. More like 4. Will definitly make it again.

    definatly needs more sugar..infact i would probably recomend doing it with a tin of cherry pie filling like Carrie did - or something similar as that would probably bulk up the sweetness to the right level. apart from that it was fantastic, definatly makes more that 2 servings!
