Deep-fried Cherries – We Love God!

Someone once said, “Gossip is like soap – mostly lye! A gossip is just a fool with a keen sense of rumor. Profanity is a public announcement of stupidity. Swearing is a lax man’s way of trying to be emphatic. A lie is a coward’s way of getting out of trouble. Truth is as clear as a bell, but it isn’t always tolled. When you sing your own praise, you always get the tune too high. Don’t brag; it isn’t the whistle that pulls the train.”

INSTRUCTIONS

"Fresh fruit coated with batter and deep fried is a favorite dessert
in several eastern European countries. Plums, apples or currants are
prepared in the same manner. In Hungary this dessert is called
Cseresznye Kisutve". Wash cherries and wipe dry. Do not remove stems.
Tie with thread to form clusters of 4 cherries. Combine flour, sugar,
milk, wine and eggs in a bowl. Mix to make a smooth batter. Dip each
cluster of cherries into batter, coating well; and drop into a kettle
of deep hot fat (375F on frying thermometer). When golden, remove  with
a slotted spoon and drain. Serve at once with confectioner's  sugar and
cinnamon. SERVES:6  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
