Author Notes
I went to our cherry orchard yesterday and picked 6 - 7 kilos of cherries, which I intend to use in a variety of ways. I decided that I wanted to make brownies, which are not wild or crazy, but if the end result is delicious that is all that matters and these moist confections were phenomenal!
I was very fortunate to have some fantastic helper in the kitchen, who started eating and licking most of the ingredients, so my actual brownies have less chocolate then expected because pieces just kept going missing and nobody knew where they were... forget about the fact that the corners of their mouths were brown! —CaseyAngelova
