Sour Cherry Oat Crisp
This was out of inspiration for something to do with my fresh sour cherries. Only got a few this year so wanted to make something really tasty! I think this did it. Very simple and can be adjusted to your needs if fresh sour cherries are not available, but I do not recommend using Bing or sweet red cherries for this. Use sour cherries in the can if you can find them. Enjoy! Refrigerate when completely cooled.

Cook's Notes:
For pitting cherries, I recommend inserting a clean, opened paperclip into the top of the cherry and pulling out the pit.
Three cans drained sour cherries can be substituted for the fresh cherries. If you are using canned cherries, you just need to save the drained juice from the cans. Just be sure to squeeze each one gently to check for any pits that may have been missed (you don't want anyone to break a tooth!).
Quick-cooking oats can be substituted for the rolled oats.
Substitute margarine for the butter if desired.
