Cherry Crisp, or cherry Crumble or maybe cherry crisp? I have rarely had such a hard time finding the right name for a Recipe for a recipe. The Americans and the English have one thing ahead of us and that is finding simple terms. In German, a lot of things sound so rough and angular. You always try to iron it out a little nicely, but the bottom line is that it still sounds awful. After a lot of back and forth, I decided to go with the Crisp and that’s where it stayed. Summertime is Cherry time and I have already ventured today on the tree to harvest delicious cherries. After pondering for a long time what to do with the red beauties, I came up with the idea of the crisp. At the same time I had in my head cinema a beautiful, sunny afternoon in the garden with a delicious iced coffee, cherry crisp and completely creamy vanilla ice cream on top. Well, who’s in? I have already snacked, I admit.
Cherry Crisp, Crumble or Crisp?
Cherries , cherries, cherries, our cherry tree is a true miracle and this year gives us a rich harvest. My husband has built the ladder professionally, so nothing can happen and I can safely harvest my cherries. Wash, pit, and let the cherry fun begin. We need cherries, cornstarch, lemon juice and maple syrup for the base. All this is mixed well. If the Cherries are not particularly juicy, then I add some cherry or apple juice.
For the topping we need oat flour, mixed nuts, nut puree, coconut flakes and raw cane sugar and some water. Mix everything well until it becomes a great, soft crisp or Crumble has become. Many recipes use a lot of oil or margarine in the crisp. Unfortunately, both foods contain a lot of fat and calories, but hardly any fiber and other valuable plant substances. I try to avoid margarine because it contains a lot of saturated fatty acids. These can have a negative impact on arterial health.
TIP: Try it once oil and margarine-free and with nut puree from whole nuts. The advantage is that in a nut puree the whole nut is processed and thus also valuable fiber and other valuable ingredients of the plant, which are otherwise simply “filtered away”.
How healthy are actually cherries?
“Don’t eat too many cherries and don’t drink water with them or you’ll get a stomach ache“. Who still knows the saying from their parents or grandparents? I definitely did and I believed it for a long time. Shall we clear up the claim? It is an old wives’ tale . Abdominal pain can occur if you eat excessively of the red fruits. Let’s face it, this happens to all foods, or how do you feel after eating an entire watermelon? Well, let’s turn our attention to the ingredients of the red beauties, they are much more important, aren’t they?
- High content of antioxidants(protect against free radicals and thus against aging processes)
- Have a mild dehydrating effect thanks to 230mg of potassium per 100g
- Rich in folic acid with 50mg per 100g
- Full of anthocyanins, which have been shown to counteract cell damage from free radicals
- Rich in vitamin C, A, and B vitamins
All in all the Cherry a wonderful fruit and I can’t wait to harvest fresh from our tree again shortly. If possible, look for cherries from organic cultivation, because the skin of the fruit is very thin and, accordingly, many pesticides can be absorbed and stored.
Then you can start now with our delicious and juicy Cherry or Kirsch Crisp. If you feel more like a cake today, I recommend my delicious Chocolate cherry cake . Please a scoop homemade vanilla ice cream do not forget to add one scoop. Gladly also two bullets.
