Cherry Crostata

    I made this Cherry Crostata tonight as dessert and everyone really loved it. used frozen cherries because I couldn't find any fresh cherries anywhere around here. This didn't change the outcome for me. I loved that this wasn't too sweet and that it didn't feel too sinful of a dessert. I think that I could serve this for brunch on the holidays as well and it would be well received. Thanks for a great recipe Kozmic Blues!
