Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium-high heat, add the cherries, maple syrup and beer. Combine. Stir over heat for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, add the cream, flour, brown sugar, vanilla and almond extract, eggs and salt. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth.
Distribute the cherries in a 9” x 13” baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the cherries and place in the oven. Cook for around 40 minutes or until the custard is cooked through. Decorate with a dusting of icing sugar and serve. Enjoy hot, warm or cold!
