Ingredients

8 ounces dark sweet cherries, pitted, halved (about 2 cups)

3 large eggs, room temperature

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup all purpose flour

Blend almonds in processor until ground but not pasty. Transfer to small saucepan; add milk and bring to simmer. Remove from heat; let steep 30 minutes. Pour through fine strainer, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids in strainer.

Sift flour into egg mixture and beat until smooth. Pour mixture over cherries. Bake until set and knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.
