Cherries are small, round stone fruits that range in color from bright red to deep burgundy, almost black, depending on the variety. Their flesh is juicy and sweet, with a slightly tart undertone. Sweet cherries, like Bing or Rainier, are enjoyed fresh, while sour cherries, also known as tart cherries, are preferred for baking and preserves. The smooth, glossy skin adds to their visual appeal, making them a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Looking for fresh cherries to add a burst of flavor? You can find them at your local grocery store or farmers market during their peak season.

Fresh cherries are best stored in the refrigerator. Remove any bruised or damaged cherries before storing to prevent spoilage. Place cherries in a plastic bag or airtight container and store in the crisper drawer for up to one week. For longer storage, cherries can be frozen. Pit and spread them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer them to a freezer bag or container. Frozen cherries can last for up to 12 months.
