My husband had a cold cherry soup on a cruise we went on and loved it. He's been begging me to make it for him so I tried this recipe today. I used fresh sweet cherries (they are in season and we don't like tart cherries) I ended up using about 2 cups of pitted cherries and cooked them with just enough water to cover them with no cornstarch like amy suggested. I also added a stick of cinnamon when I was boiling and a dash of chopped cloves. Cooked it for about 15 minutes on the stove (took out the cinnamon stick) and then pureed it with 1/2 a cup of sour cream 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 1/2 tbls sugar. Its not a thick soup this way but it tastes fantastic! Next time I try it I might add the cornstarch just to thicken it up a bit but I think my husband is going to love it too!

Eileen's Spicy Gingerbread Men

Reviewed: Jun. 10, 2009

This is the best gingerbread recipe I have made, and will continue to make. Everyone expects these little cookies for christmas every year from me. I havent had any problems with them being too sticky but i make sure to chill them overnight, I also double the amaount of cloves and cinnamon. (i love cloves!) I flatten out the dough to about an 8th of an inch thick and cut tons of these little cookies out. They are AMAZING with coffee!!! My mother in law keeps trying to persuade me to make them for every holiday!
