Popovers with Black Cherry Creme

Most years the focus at Valentine's Day is on dinner, doing something special, whether going out or having a nice meal at home.  This year, we have a party to attend on February 14, so I thought I'd make a special breakfast.  I have a lot to show you, so settle in, and enjoy my …
