Candied cherries

wiseheartI've used up my (very limited) stash when I gave Mary Berry's cherry cake a try. Unfortunately, they are hard to get over here, even in good times. Last year I found some at Lidl right before Christmas, but never since. I gave Heidi a phone call; she's most talented at finding stuff, but she told me that she hasn't seen any since Christmas, either.
Usually, I get mine when we go to Austria with Mum - there are to find in every big supermarket over there - but that's clearly not an option right now. I'm thinking of trying my hand on making some myself, but I'm a bit anxious about it. I have perhaps two or three small cans (150-200 gram each) frozen, from the ones my friend Evie brought us back in June, but I'd hate to ruin them. Firstly, they're delicious and secondly, cherries were insanely expensive this year. So, I'm still hoping to find some ready-made ones either at Tesco or at Interspar eventually. It isn't so as if I'd need them now. I just like to keep a small stash of such stuff, so that I can bake whenever and whatever the urge overcomes me. *g*
In other news, I've made modest headway with both "A Stitch in Time" and "Sleeping Dragons 5 - The Old Terror". I've posted the new chapter of the latter to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
otherworlds_lib and will put it up to AO3 during the weekend, too. I've also finished posting Eye Witness to AO3, and even got a comment to it - a positive one! Yay! It is an old, Tosh-centered Torchwood story that I forgot to post there earlier. I was surprised that people still got interested.
Also, we survived the monthly flat cleaning. Now I'm tired. Time to play a little solitary and then watch some telly.
