Cherry Crumble Bars

Cherries are finally in season in Southern Ontario and I am a happy camper!  I have been watching the cherry trees as we drive by the orchards and have been so tempted to pull over and pick a handful.  But I waited patiently.

We have so many fruit stands in our area and we stopped at one this morning and got a basketful of just picked sweet cherries for only $10.00!

I love cherries in my smoothies, in pies, in brownies and in these cherry crumble bars!

My favorite tool this time of year is my Oxo cherry pitter!  It gets the job done fast and clean.  It took me only 5 minutes to pit 4 cups of cherries for this recipe!

It makes a large 9 by 13 pan.  I like to cut them large and enjoy with a scoop (or two) of ice cream!

Happy Monday!

    They look yummy! I eat cherries plain. They are one of my favourite fruits. But you are tempting me to try those cherry crumble bars!
