Griotte cherry clafoutis
This cherry clafoutis recipe is a classic French dessert originating from the South West Limousin region, and it is somewhere between a cake and a flan. This version from Pascal Aussignac features a great combination of sweet and sour flavours, thanks to the tart griotte cherries, but you can substitute for local cherries or other seasonal fruit if you wish.
