It's a dream come true for both of them. Located at the south end of Glen Lake in one of northwest Michigan's most popular vacation retreats, the inn is open year-round. While Jack tends the front of the house, Marianne is in the kitchen creating soups, salads, entrees and desserts in her own inimitable style. And many of those foods include cherries. And they go especially well with high fat meats such as duck.
Cherries move easily from breakfast to dinner desserts.
Her Cherry Plum Sauce is perfect with a multitude of foods including roast duckling, as a filling in a thin dessert pancake, or as a topping for ice cream. And for a perfect sandwich, try her Traverse City Cherry Ham Salad. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and serve. Or cover and refrigerate for up to a week.
