    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/02/2012   I made this yesterday and found it to be terribly bland. It occurred to me that sour cherries might be better than sweet ones for a bit of extra kick. And adding a tiny drop of almond extract or mahlab (crushed cherry kernel powder) might also have helped.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/10/2010   This is not how you make a clafoutis (specialty of my French hometown)! You never use creme fraiche and always use whole, unpitted cherries (gives a subtle almond flavor). No vanilla extract but a dash or rum or kirsch. There's also way too little flour in this recipe - you basically need to make a crepe batter. Little pats of butter and sprinkled sugar on top to make it brown nicely. This looks like a flan or custard.
