Cherry Orchard Baguette

Lately, my son and I have been spending a considerable amount of time at a local orchard in beautiful Bucks County, PA. It’s the sort of place that, aside from having rows and rows of beautiful fruit, also has a quaint charm and a “pick your own” experience that transcends the busy nearby metropolis of Philadelphia. Here you’ll find zinnias, cosmos, and black-eyed susans growing around the perimeter of every barn, and hand-painted signs pointing the way to sweet things ripe for the picking. There is a market that sells apple cider slushies and doughnuts from last season’s apple bounty – a promised reward after a hard day’s work picking your own fruit to enjoy under the shade of a tree. If you live in the city or the suburbs, it’s a taste of the country and a chance to lose yourself, at least for a couple of hours, in the good and simple things of life.

This year the beginning of the fruit season has been ushered in with gobs of cherries. Maybe it’s just me, but I think that it’s been a particularly successful cherry season. When my son and I recently went picking, all I had to do was reach up and grab cherries by the handful off the tree. No ladder needed. Even my little one had no difficulty reaching cherries.

While I picked cherries, my son parked himself on a small ladder where he picked (and perhaps ate) contently.

A few sour cherries made it into his bucket, but the sweet cherries didn’t stand a chance…

At the end of our adventure we came home with a couple quarts each of Sour, Bing, and Rainier cherries, and I got to work developing new recipes. A delicious Sour Cherry Absinthe Cocktail is already up on the blog, a dessert with Rainier cherries is yet to come, and for today we have a Cherry Orchard Baguette. My husband claims that it’s the best sandwich he has ever eaten in his entire life. I believe there may be a bit of hyperbole in that statement, but this sandwich is a good one. It has fresh ingredients that capture the taste of summer – perfect for your next picnic!

If you live in the Philadelphia area and are looking for a place to lose yourself in some quiet fruit picking, check out Solebury Orchard’s website! The microgreens are from Blue Moon Acres which are available for sale at Solebury Orchard.

    Blending creamy goat cheese with cherries sounds amazing on its own, but then you added prosciutto, too… wow!

      Thanks Christine!… And yeah… I went a little crazy on this one… I was inspired by the whole cherry picking experience I guess!

    Cherries are one of my favorite fruits, but I would never have considered adding them to a sandwich. Great idea!
