Crêpes Suzette with Sour
Cherries
Our traditional
Crêpes Suzette Recipe
does not have a filling, as it consists of a Crêpe in a sauce.
However, adding a sour cherry filling is a variation which is
extremely popular, even if it is not traditional.
For this
variation, one needs about a bottle of sour cherries from which
the pits have been removed. For eight people, a pound of sour
cherries (about 400 g) is about right. For more or fewer people,
adjust accordingly.
Then make the
Crêpes Suzette as per normal (see the
Crêpes Suzette Recipe).
Just before folding the Crêpes at the end of the recipe, add
some cherries to the centre. Then serve as normal.
The sour taste
of the sour cherries very nicely offsets the sweet taste of the
Crêpes Suzette sauce, which is one of the reasons that this
variation is so popular.
Although I've
served this recipe many times, I've never come across it in any
recipe book. Consequently, I've named it after the person
(Isabella) who first introduced it to me. Thus Crêpes
Suzette-Isabella.
