Norpro Donut Maker Recipes

Hi,
I recently did a search for the Norpro Donut Maker and happened upon 
your site.Just like Lisa (although its been awhile since her post), 
I was looking for both the directions and recipes of the Norpro 
Batter-Drop Donut Maker, a little contraption that easily dispenses 
batter. I know that her post is old, but if anyone's still looking, 
this is what I found.  I received an email from a Norpro 
representative after I request another copy. I was extremely 
impressed with their promptness!

Several cake-type donuts were included.

Cover chokecherry fruit with water, mash and boil at the same time. 
After boil, simmer for a half hour mashing occasionally. Squeeze

very sturdy and will be very hard to break open
