Clafoutis - French Country Baked Cherry Pudding

1 lb. Bing Cherries, pitted
4 eggs
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup light cream
1 tablespoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter an 11" oval baking dish. Arrange cherries evenly over the bottom. In a large bowl beat the eggs lightly; beat in the pinch of salt and the sugar. Sift the flour in, beating gradually. Beat in two-thirds of the butter; melted. Add in the light cream, almond extract, vanilla and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth. Pour the batter over the cherries and dot with remaining butter.
Bake at 375 degees for 45 minutes or until puffed around the edges. Sprinkle with sugar and serve warm with cream.
