Method

  • step 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.

  • step 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 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…

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 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

does anyone know if this can be done with other soft fruit?? I have some blueberries and raspberries in the fridge and need to use them up!

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.
