1/4 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons plain flour |
45 g ground almonds |
1 grated orange, rind of |
60 g butter, cut into small pieces |

1. For this recipe it is not necessary to pit the cherries as they retain a better shape during cooking if the pits are left in.

3. Transfer to a shallow ovenproof dish which holds about four cups of the mixture.
4. Streusel Topping: In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour, almond meat, orange rind and butter, with your fingers, so that the butter is in tiny pieces throughout.
5. Scatter over the cherries and bake in a moderate oven, 350f degrees, for about 30 minutes or until topping is tinged with brown.
