Rustic Cherry Tart

One of the things I love most about the month of July is finding fresh cherries in the market. This year I can’t seem to get enough of them. They have such a deep flavor and sweetness. I have to admit that I usually just pop them into my mouth and spit out the pits, but I remembered a cherry and olive pitter that I purchased a while back and decided to come up with  a simple, rustic cherry tart recipe.

Rustic Cherry Tart

You don’t need a cherry pitter to make this tart. Just cut the cherries in half and remove the pits. Using the pitter was kinda pointless for me anyways, since I still cut the cherries in half. It was a bit of fun to use though!

Cherry Filling:
1 pound (3 cups) sweet cherries, halved and pitted

Directions:

If using a homemade pie dough, roll the dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper liner, into a 14 inch circle. Transfer the parchment and dough onto a baking sheet. This is really easy if you are using a ready made pie dough like I did. Transfer the parchment and dough onto a baking sheet. Simply roll out the refrigerated dough onto a baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper or silicone liner.

In a large bowl, mix together filling ingredients until evenly coated.
