Cherry and amaretto Eton Mess





Before starting my post today (finally) I want to share with you that I had two weeks very difficult.

I just want to apologize if I have not visit  some blogs (you know I always try to visit them ) 
To summarize my mom was sick several days, needed help, so I would whole days to her house and cook, she has  a person who helps her but she doesnt like how she cooks:)

So I was doing the shopping, cooking and helping, always go sporadically, but this was more often.
BTW, she is better, and now I'm trying to sort my house!
I had cooked meals for post but  was impossible to publish.
Thanks !
Now let's the recipe.
This dessert is delicious, I made other Eton Mess with others fruits  but this with cherry and amaretto was so good! It can be done with cherries in jar or fresh when you have.
In fact I did part with jar and other with fresh cherries .
Here we are with last summer fruits. 
So I cook with the things I can find!
