Butter it and line with parchment paper. Butter the parchment paper, too, and flour it, using gluten-free flour if you want the cake to be wholly gluten-free.

Put cherries in medium saucepan with the water and sugar. Dissolve sugar slowly over medium-low heat until there are no sugar crystals remaining, painting down any crystals from the side of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Turn up the heat once the sugar is dissolved and bring to a vigorous boil, stirring to prevent scorching, until the cherries are softened but not mushy, and the juices are red, about 5-8 minutes. Taste, making sure you taste a cherry as well as the juice, and add a little more sugar, or lemon juice, to taste.Pour cherries and their juices** into the prepared pan and then pour batter on top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until the centre is set, the edges are brown, and the top is light brown all over. Rotate the clafouti once in the oven if needed for even browning. Unofficial figure | [ ] = Official data | A = May include official, semi-official or estimated data Dried sour cherries are used in cooking including soups, pork dishes, cakes, tarts, and pies. Also used to make a jam/fruit spread. Sour cherries suffer fewer pests and diseases than sweet cherries, although they are prone to heavy fruit losses from birds.

Sour cherries are particularly popular in Turkey, especially in the form of vişne suyu (sour cherry nectar), a widely-consumed beverage, and vişne reçeli (sour cherry jam), often eaten as part of a traditional kahvaltı (Turkish breakfast) or mixed into plain yoghurt. Wash and dry the cherries and stone* them (or not, as you please). Macerate in the 3 T sugar and the kirsch and Grand Marnier, if using, for about 2 hours. Serve warm, with cream if you like and any juices** you may have set aside for an accompanying syrup. This recipe is adapted from Michel Roux’s Desserts. It is one of my favourite of all cakes, and all chocolate things, and is especially good with fresh red fruits like cherries and raspberries. And it happens to be gluten free (just make sure to flour the buttered parchment with gluten free flour). Refrigerate the filled cake for a couple of hours to soften, and serve chilled with the fresh cherries. The cake can also be made the day before and served deep chilled. It will settle a little, but still taste delicious.
