Clafoutis

Preheat oven to 350° F. Cut fruit into bite-size pieces and pit cherries if using. In a bowl, toss fruit with 2 tablespoons of sugar and set aside.

In a blender, food processor or immersion blender, blend milk, remaining sugar, eggs, vanilla and flour about 1 minute until a smooth batter is created.

Butter a glass pie pan or 4 ramekins. Pour batter to about 1/4 the height of the container. Add fruit and cover with remaining batter.

Bake for 20 minutes to 1 hour depending on the pan, until it is golden brown and firm in the center and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Serve while warm.
