I wonder if you could make a caramelized-pineapple cheesecake. I had an
amazing pineapple upside-down cake with caramelized pineapple. It was
delicious.

You'd probably have to caramelize the pineapple first since it would
need a higher temperature than the cheesecake.

I used to be able to buy either pineapple or cherry cheesecake with
the fruit on the bottom, under the cheese filling, not as a topping.

Stop it. I'm going crazy. I got to go out and find some sweets.

Cherry clafouti is popular.

Hell, I'd eat cherry anything.

Hard to find fresh cherries though.

I guess I'll have to drink cherry juice.

Too bad George Washington chopped down all those cherry trees.

I'll have to settle for cranberries, instead of cherries.

Cherries aren't berries at all. They're pitted fruit, like plums, peaches,
and apricots.

Maybe I'll use dried cherries.
