Summertime Sour Cherry Crisp

The last of my frozen sour cherries are now gone, No. 664 Summertime Sour Cherry Crisp marks the end of summer – sweet Summertime Sour Cherry Crisp.

SIMPLE DESSERT

I love the simplicity of this crisp recipe. Just mix the cherries with the 1 tablespoon of flour and sugar then turn into the baking pan.

CLASSIC CRISP TOPPING

Next make the crisp topping by mixing the flour, oats, brown sugar and butter together with your fingertips to create small marble-sized pieces.

Sprinkle the crisp topping over the cherries and bake-now that’s a beautifully simple dessert. Bake and remove from oven.

Curried Shrimp Soup

Curried Shrimp Soup | Bijouxs Little Jewels

This is one of the easiest soups to make and very tasty too! This classic Curried Shrimp Soup No. 663 from the Membership Collection is one to savor.

FOOD MEMORIES

This soup came from a dear friend’s daughter who was young at the time and had just started cooking, but we all loved her soup. It has been many years now, my dear friend has passed on, but her daughter remains. This simple soup is a treasured recipe memory.

CURRIED SHRIMP SOUP

I shared this recipe in my cookbook FROM THE BEACH HOUSE.

It was actually posted over 15 years in my blog here.   The soup pictured, Seafood Chowder, contains clams and some vegetables, but is the same broth base.

Today I have morphed the original into this lovely Curried Shrimp Soup. Smooth with just the gentle hint of curry is what sets this soup apart. I included  a bit of clam juice for umami flavor.  Cook Curried Shrimp Soup and begin making your food memories.

Cheers.
