Cherry and Me and friends visited a Cherry Farm in Red Hill to collect Morello Cherries. Morellos are a sour variety perfect for cooking. As most visitors to the farm prefer collecting sweet ‘ready to eat’ varieties we had the entire orchard to ourselves. The weather was warm, the sky bright blue, and the trees were bursting with bright red juicy jewels. It could not have been a more perfect day!
Tune in next week to see how we make Morello Cherry Jam
Happy New Year! We’ve got great things planned this year and cannot wait to share them with you! Cherry will be 3 in March and Tiger will celebrate his first birthday in July! We know how much you love giveaways so look out for some beauties along the way!

We all drove down to our holiday house to escape the city, catch up with friends and family, unwind, relax and celebrate Summer.
This week Cherry and Me baked, constructed and decorated a gingerbread house! Here’s how we made it…
 Edible Glue: 2 egg whites beaten until stiff + 3 cups of icing sugar + a drop of food dye
Edible House Paint: We made another batch of icing with 3 egg whites + 3 cups of icing sugar for a slightly runnier mixture, then added food dye in separate bowls.
 DIY piping bags: Pour icing into sandwich bags and snip the tiniest amount off one corner
 Time to paint!
 Locally grown roses and our bunny collection

Cherry and Me just chillin in our garden
We’re totally loving the weather at the moment and enjoy spending time in our garden, having picnics and tea parties, feeding the birds and just watching the flowers grow. The sun came out this afternoon and Cherry and Me ate homemade Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt Pops. We thought we’d share our recipe with you…
The ingredients are simple. Fruit and Yoghurt.
We used strawberries and five:am Mixed Berry Yoghurt Drink
Frist we puréed the strawberries and poured it into icy-pole moulds
We then filled the rest up with five:am organic yoghurt
Pop them in the freezer over night or until frozen
Sometimes the pops are tricky to release from their mould, so our tip is to run them under hot water for a few seconds to slightly melt the outside
And hey presto! A healthier alternative to ice-cream and so much fun to make!
Delicious!
PS Cherry loves her new rainbow dress from HootKid! We blogged about HootKid back when Cherry and Me first started and we still adore the label!
