I wonder if fresh (or frozen) cherries could be used in this recipe. I have some sour cherries (the kind I am told are are use in pies) and wonder if they would work for something like this
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thats a good question. I'm really not sure. Sour cherries are very sour. They are usually sweetened while made into a cherry pie filling.

I would love to make this recipe but i don't think we have small boxes of cake mix in Australia, the only thing i can think of is to use A box mix with the amount that is stated in the recipe & then make cupcakes with what is left over. I would make it using pie apples as i again don't think we have cherry pie tins here either. I wish we had all the wonderful goodies that are found in the US. Never mind we Aussies know how to adapt. Thank you for a lovely recipe.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
We definitely have a lot of baking shortcuts here. You could absolutely use about half a standard-size boxed cake mix. 🙂
Jill
I love this recipe! It's versatile, too! Spice cake with peaches! I'm making the cherry one 1st and will use the frozen cranberry hint! I had to buy a cast iron skillet! I can't wait! Thank you for the recipe!
Brandie
Hope you enjoy Jill

Well I just love all three if Y'all!!!! I enjoy saving all the recipes. Your blogs bring such pleasure each day I don't know what is wrong with people!! If they are southern they will enjoy them too. If they are not then......who cares!!!!
My Momma taught me that being a southern lady has some rules and one of them is ... if you don't have anything nice to say about someone, then keep your mouth shut!! Folks that is just plain good manners.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Darn skippy! Love it Yecedrah - thanks SO much!!!
Barb
Try adding a cup or so of fresh or frozen whole cranberries. You won't be able to taste the cranberries but they will make taste like it was made with fresh sour cherries. A cousin taught me this trick with cherry pie a while ago and I couldn't believe how much it tastes like fresh cherries.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Barb - what a fantastic idea! I never thought of that! What a great tip!!!
LaShawna
Tried this recipe last night and it was delicious!!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Yes!! Thanks for coming back to let me know LaShawna!!
Mary
Would it come out just as good in any 10inch skillet? Or does a cast iron make it taste better.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hi Mary! The cast iron skillet gets those edges nice and crispy. But you could certainly use something else. 🙂
Lisa
The video was hilarious!! I'm glad you don't take Trolls personally, there is always 1 negative to 10 positives in the bunch. Love this recipe:-)
Anissa

The video was good.and I wan tto make your cherry cobbler as it looks like a quikie with good eye appeal and taste. I did wonder how it got categorized as Chinese though. Must just be more s__ from you bloggers!!!!1
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Nana - Oh mercy! I didn't even notice that. Baahaha - you are so right! Let me get that fixed. I just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention 😉
Linda Miller
I died laughing watching your video with the other bloogers. You all are hilarious! I just want to add my two cents with people I hate the most who post. I changed every single thing in your recipe and it tasted like sh*t. So I am giving it zero stars.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hi Linda! Ha! Glad we could make you laugh! And yes about the changing of the ingredients. I never mind an honest review but I don't think we can give honest reviews if the recipe and directions weren't followed exactly. Right?
Blanche
That is the beauty of the recipe you can use it as a basic and play with it. Other fruit yup...and I love using spice cake with apple filling, This is why I LIKE the Country Cook real recipes real cooks can use. Don't know about other people but I am sooo tired of recipes for truffles and lobster sauce 😉
Madonna frazier
Can you use a bigger box cake mix if you use spice cake this sounds delish , I'm makeing the cherry for me I would like to try the apple?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hi Madonna - you could but you will want to use a bigger skillet or a 9x13 baking dish. 🙂
Tammy
I think I would like to try this with either apple or blueberry instead of the cherry.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
All of this would work great!
