  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!

  Wasn't keen on it. Too eggy a custard, didn't like the texture of the lemon zest and the custard and the cherries were sickly sweet (i used morello cherries preserved in syrup from a jar - could have been due to that). But it did taste very French and was a good experience for me.

  I made this with blackberries, as there is an abundance of them in the hedgerow. I used about a pound of them in place of the cherries and it was delicious and very easy to make. Certainly enough for 4 people

  I agree with Carrie, the cooking time is way underestimated, 50 minutes is definately nearer the mark. I used fresh cherries and the sweetness was about right, though the sweetness of fresh fruit is definately variable. I found it tasted much nicer cold, probably not authentic but who cares?!

  I agree with other users - cooking time HUGELY under-rated - mine was still undercooked after 45 mins. Used this recipe because I didn't have any cream in the house but really recommend doing a proper clafoutis (Raymond Blanc or Garry Rhodes have excellent recipes on-line) because they work perfectly!
