The In-laws Are Coming- Cherry Clafoutis (a quick yet delicious dessert)

    The in-laws are coming and you have no idea what to make other than your favorite boxed brownies, which is never impressive. This recipe is simple yet amazing. Cherry Clafoutis is what you may call a firm custard and will come out looking a little rubberish, but just wait until you take a bite!  It is extremely light and perfect for breakfast with coffee. It wasn't that pricey a can of cherries $1.89, slivered almonds about 50 cents and Amaretto or almond extract about 50-75 cents worth.
