Indulge in summer sweetness with our Cherry Vanilla Crisp! 🍒 Easy prep, simple ingredients, and pure delight in every bite. Perfect for everyday bakers! I adapted this recipe from Food Network, using fresh cherries as they’re in season, and our Korintje Cinnamon, which is usually available towards the end of the year, and is delicious.

For this recipe, I used my Cherry & Olive Pitter and Stone Square Baker with Tray:

Cherry & Olive Pitter

Pit Four Fruits at One Time

If you love fresh cherries and olives, but not the mess or the time it takes to remove the pits, this handy tool quickly pits four cherries at once without bruising or wasting any of the fruit. The clear bottom tray catches all the juice and pits, mess-free. And the non-slip feet keep it in place while you zip through. The top locks to make it easy to store in a drawer.

Olive Pitter

We’ve included an extra insert so you can also pit smaller olives.

Stone Square Baker with Tray

Marinate Meats, Roast Veggies, and Serve ‘em Straight From the Oven!

The Stone Square Baker With Tray does double the work without doubling the dishes! You can take both the baker and serving tray straight from the microwave, oven, or freezer to your table. And when you’re not using it as a lid, the Stone Serving Tray can be used to bake cookies, roast veggies, serve food, or store leftovers in the fridge!

About White Satin Partially Glazed Stoneware

The elegant, white satin partially glazed exteriors combined with unglazed interiors make these stones ideal for going from the oven to the table. Made of all-natural clay, each stone develops a natural, nonstick finish over time—the more you cook, the better they get!

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 6 cups pitted cherries thawed if frozen
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum optional
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Topping

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180⁰C. Butter the Stone Square Baker; set aside.

Pit cherries with Cherry & Olive Pitter; if using frozen, thaw cherries.

Toss the cherries in a large bowl with 1/2 cup sugar, the rum, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and 2 tablespoons flour. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the oats, almonds, and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until combined, then sprinkle the mixture over the cherries.

Grilled Pork Chops With Cherry Sauce – NY Times (Video)

Juicy pork chops covered in a delicious cherry sauce makes this taste like a five-star meal – without the five-star price!

I found this recipe while searching for a way to use cherries with my dinner from the NY Times, and it did not disappoint!

For this recipe, I used my Cherry & Olive Pitter, Food Chopper, and 12″ (30cm) Cast Iron Grill Pan Skillet:

Cherry & Olive Pitter

Pit Four Fruits at One Time

If you love fresh cherries and olives, but not the mess or the time it takes to remove the pits, this handy tool quickly pits four cherries at once without bruising or wasting any of the fruit. The clear bottom tray catches all the juice and pits, mess-free. And the non-slip feet keep it in place while you zip through. The top locks to make it easy to store in a drawer.

Olive Pitter

We’ve included an extra insert so you can also pit smaller olives.

Food Chopper

One of our most popular kitchen tools, the Food Chopper makes quick work of chopping veggies, cooked meat, and nuts in seconds. It’s the solution to tear-free onion chopping! It’s equipped with a unique stainless-steel blade that rotates with each press of the plunger for consistent results. The more you press the plunger, the finer the chop. 

12″ (30cm) Cast Iron Grill Pan Skillet:

A Grill Pan for the Grill & Stove

This grill pan is exactly what you need to grill your food—whether you’re cooking indoors or out. The raised ridges on the bottom of the pan give your food rich, seared grill marks, and keeps food out of oil and drippings. The pan is big enough to hold 4 chicken breasts or burgers, or grill veggies for the whole family. The two-handle design lets you easily take your pan from the heat to the table, and because it’s made of durable cast iron, food will stay warm throughout your meal. And when you’re ready to clean up, use the ridged pan scraper to remove food.

About Cast Iron

Cast iron is a cornerstone of cooking and has a well-deserved place in modern kitchens. It’s meant to be used often, loved forever, and passed down through generations. Pampered Chef’s cast iron comes pre-seasoned, letting you use it right away—and its natural nonstick finish gets better the more you use it. These pans have excellent heat retention, so your food will get a rich sear and stay hot and delicious for a long time. They’re heat-safe to 650°F (343°F), so they hold up to searing, sautéing, baking, frying, broiling, grilling, and campfire cooking. Plus, you can use metal utensils and not worry about scratching the finish. Made in USA

Ingredients

  • 4 pork loin chops bone-in and at least one-inch thick
  • 1 tbsp rosemary freshly minced
  • 1 tsp salt plus more for the sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper plus more for the sauce
  • 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tbsp minced shallot
  • 1 cup cherries stemmed, pitted and halved
  • ½ cup fruity wine such as Pinot Noir

Instructions

Remove stems, pit cherries and slice in half; set aside.

Chop shallot, mince Rosemary, and chop garlic.

Pat Pork chops dry, then season with salt and pepper.  Rub both sides with rosemary and garlic. 

You can marinate for two hours, up to overnight if you like.  Bring pork back to room temperature prior to cooking.

Sear pork chops over medium-high heat in 12″ (30cm) Cast Iron Grill Pan Skillet for 7-10 minutes per side, until nicely browned, and an instant-read thermometer registers 135 °F/57 °C (USDA recommends temperature of 145 °F/63 °C). Remove chops to a platter, cover with foil. 

Place one tablespoon of butter into the skillet, and when the foam subsides, add in the shallots.  Cook until softened, 2-3 minutes.

Add in cherries, wine and any juices the pork chops have accumulated, stirring to incorporate.  Cook 5-6 minutes, until liquid is slightly reduced.

Add in the rest of the butter, stirring to finish the sauce.  Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately.
