Cherries are small, round stone fruits known for their vibrant color, ranging from bright red to deep crimson or even black. They boast a sweet and slightly tart flavor profile, making them a delightful treat. The texture of a cherry is typically firm and juicy, offering a satisfying burst of flavor with each bite. Fresh cherries are available seasonally, while preserved cherries, like maraschino cherries, offer a year-round option for adding a touch of sweetness and visual appeal to desserts and cocktails. Whether enjoyed fresh, baked into pies, or used in savory sauces, cherries offer a versatile and delicious addition to a variety of dishes. Look for plump, shiny cherries for the best flavor and quality. They provide a delightful pop of flavor and can be the perfect ingredient to elevate a dish.

Cherries are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and prevent spoilage. Place them in a perforated plastic bag or a container lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Avoid washing them until just before you're ready to eat them, as moisture can accelerate decay. Cherries can also be frozen for longer storage. Remove the pits, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. Frozen cherries are great for smoothies and baking.
