- While perusing a recently acquired copy of Maria Polushkin's
- "The Dumpling Cookbook" (ISBN 0-911104-85-1 pbk), I came upon an
- unusual recipe that used cherries.
-
- Recalling that someone requested some unusual cherry recipes, I am
- posting, without permission, the Rum Cherry Fritters recipe from page
- 157 -- in the Sweet Dumplings Section.
-
- Rum Cherry Fritters -- Serves 6 to 8
-
- 1/2 c all-purpose flour 2 eggs, separated
- 2 T confectioner's sugar 2 T rum
- 1/4 t salt 1/2 c clarified butter
- 1 lb cherries with stems 1/2 c vegetable oil
- confectioner's sugar
-
- 1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, egg yolks, 2 T
- confectioner's sugar, rum and salt to form a smooth batter.
- Cover and let stand 1 to 2 hours.
-
- 2. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and fold them into
- the batter.
-
- 3. Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large frying pan to
- 360 degrees F., then turn the heat to low.
-
- 4. Dip the cherries into the batter and stand them up into the
- hot oil. Fry for 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
-
- 5. Remove the cherries. Dip them into the confectioner's
- sugar and serve.
-
- Notes and variations:
- Another way to prepare cherry fritters is to tie together the
- stems of 5 cherries to form a bunch. Dip the bunch of cherries
- into the batter and deep fry in 3 to 4 cups of hot (360 F.)
- vegetable oil.
