Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The crostata can be wrapped in foil and kept at room temperature overnight.
Notes
Unlike cloyingly sweet, electric-red maraschinos, Luxardo cherries are dark brown and tart, and they have a deep cherry flavor. They're available at specialty food shops and from amazon.com.
