Summer has definitely arrived here! And that means cherries! Lots of them! On the trees (remember
this post from last year about these little red jewels?) and being sold off the back of trucks that go slowly through the streets with the seller yelling out 'cherries, cherries - 2 Lira a kilo!'
Yashar and I rushed over to buy a kilo. Just to get us started. I'm thinking about making some cherry jam - which is very popular here - but am wondering if it will take a ridiculous amount of time to get all the pips out. Does any one have any good family recipes? At the moment though we are just enjoying them in a nice frosty bowl straight from the fridge.
Summer also means another trip to the beach. We went back to the same beach again - called Dalia Club near Demircekoy - about a half hour drive from our apartment. And I know I was kind of anti entry fee, but there are plenty of perks!
These gorgeous woven style umbrellas have been put up all over the place . On one of the little peninsulas they've put a lot of chairs and tables with white tablecloths and big umbrellas and they've built a platform to swim out to. I could get used to this...

My husband has been dying to get some cherries!
Love your banner!
Cherries are delicious and the lovely photos of them make me think of summer days and Christmas! Maybe you can strain out the pips when you make the jam. xx
