Clafoutis is basically a fruit custard. Some people are insistent that the fruit be cherries but some frisky bakers will use any fruit that sounds good on a menu. We used cherries marinated in simple syrup and rum. This custard has some almond flour as well as brandy mixed in. As a result, this custard has a little more texture and taste to it. It's not your typical vanilla, creamy custard but it is still a great dessert.By the way - I've been in this house for 14 years now but I'll be needing some custard dishes for a house warming gift!!
