Cherries: Door County Cherry Blintzes

Photo by Douglas Detert

Real Door County cherries are a mix of sweet and sour and add a bit of bite to the sweet and creamy flavors of the traditional blintz. If you want to get extremely Wisconsin with the whole operation, substitute shredded cheese curds for the farmer cheese, or get good farmer cheese from Hook's.

Cherry blintzes take a little bit of time and work to assemble, though the cherry topping could be substituted with warmed-up cherry preserves or pre-made cherry pie filling to save some time. My favorite cherry preserves are from Slack's and can be purchased here. For recipe, click on blog title or "read more"
