Cherry brown butter bars

I made these:

OMG.

I think I cooked them for 35 minutes (after assembling), which was fine. I used 36 cherries, which seemed like a good amount. Not sure how many pounds it was, but I pitted 2.5-3 cups total and didn't use anywhere near all of them.

Done again, I might bake the base for slightly less time (15 minutes?) but it was fine as-is.

I don't think I modified the recipe at all.

cherry cornmeal muffins

I made this recipe:

but with all sugar instead of honey and an additional TBS of milk to make up for the lack of moisture provided by the honey. They were decent and more or less worked even though there's a strangely small amount of flour and my butter-sugar-milk mixture seemed a little clumpy (my melted brown butter re-solidified when it hit cold milk.) I also ended up using almond extract instead of vanilla. I'm not sure that was a good choice--not bad, but vanilla might have been better.
