Altogether, that’s 5 recipes total, plus tempering milk and dark chocolates. Over and over and over again. I learn something new every time I make them — or find out I didn’t know what I thought knew — and that minutiae is also hard to translate to blog posts. And after working so hard to fix problems and improve techniques for such specialized recipes, it’s also difficult to think about just giving that away straightaway. And I hope to have another innocent farmers market day soon - I don’t remember the last time I had a carefree market day.

Burlat's a new one to me. I hope that the vendor is there again on Saturday, so that I can ask. Some were nice and a little sweet, with lingering almost-floral fragrance in in the mouth, if that makes sense... and some didn't havn't have much flavor at all... but that inconsistency seems common among cherries I've had in the past.

Burlats are an early variety with an intense dark red flesh that fools you into thinking they'll have more flavor than they actually do. How were they? It's my least favorite variety, but it does come nice and early and provides nice color in things. What did you think? Does that sound right? Might they have been Burlat cherries.

Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun these days going with the flow of what's at the market (and in my cupboard)... The great flavors and combinations never end. The cobbler was such a lovely treat for a weekend afternoon... and evening... and breakfast... and then it was all gone. :) Thank you, Dorie!

I, like you, first made the cobbler I found both rhubarb and cherries at the market at the same time - it's one of those magical late spring culinary coincidences. I really like your picture of the cobbler, but I think my favorite picture is the one of the cherry pitter on the board with the cherry juice. Very nice.

I was looking forward to rhubarb more than anything else this Spring! And it seems like food bloggers everywhere else are posting almost daily about their cheap, plentiful rhubarb supplies.... And thanks! hehe The rhubarb confit is going to be such a nice change from the strawberry preserve experiments that I've been working my way through during breakfast... and will until, roughly, 2010. The rhubarb-raspberry grunt sounds great -- if I ever get some more rhubarb, I want to try out that combination. Gary - hahaha  For me it's all about the sugar, in whatever form. I used to eat spoonfuls of the stuff as a child.  Any actual flavor is just a bonus. :) And a lot of people don't like mixing chocolate and fruit, but I think it's best of both worlds.

During the years I lived in Switzerland, such dilemmas caused conflict on a daily basis. It was very unpleasant.
