HI FROM SOLAR and also a quick update

HI. This is Solar, as you can tell if you read the title. This blog is mostly an update on current events in my family. Cherry season has started, so guess what the subject of my next few blogs will be? Cherries. My family in Oregon owns an orchard, and they just shipped us some fresh Rainier cherries, which spoil quickly, so we will be doing several cherry things very soon. Since I don't want this blog to be entirely updates, I'll do a quick review of how Rainier cherries are different from the more common Bing cherries.

The lighter ones are Rainier and the darker ones are Bing

First off, Rainier cherries are yellow. They are also much more fragile and faster to spoil. In the taste department, Rainier cherries are much sweeter and also quite a bit larger than Bing cherries. That's pretty much everything (family, feel free to point out mistakes and give additional information in the comments.) 

                                                      Ok, I guess that's all. 

                                                       BYE HUMANS.

Cherry Pie Wontons

Hi guys, SolarFlare here, call me Solar for short. (Younger half) Today we will be making a delicious and fun summer treat! And yes, I know it's winter, but in my opinion the time is always right for cherry pie! So today, we will be putting a fun twist on things with cherry wonton wrappers! Hold on tight, because here we go!



First, you'll need some cherry pie filling. The canned stuff is always too sweet, so try and make your own. http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/homemade-cherry-pie-filling-recipe/  is a great recipe, I used it myself. Go check it out, drop a like or two, and enjoy.

Next, you'll have to make your wonton wrappers. Bake or fry them, but make sure you double or triple up to keep them sturdy. Now you're ready to put the whole thing together.

Take two or three wrappers, depending on their thickness, and lay them out on a sheet pan. Pour i your cherry filling until you reach the top of the main walls. I.e, only some spiky bits at the top shouldn't be touching the filling on the inside. If you want to serve them hot, they're ready to serve, but if they should be cold, refrigerate until at the correct temperature. Enjoy, friends! This is SolarFlare, signing out.



P.S.- Sorry if the blogs are sparse for a while, Science Fair is coming up for me, and Mom's been busy teaching, so we don't have much time to post. I'm only getting this up because it's been decided I don't do homework on Fridays. I should be doing more as school draws to a close. See you next time!
