Frozen cherries should be kept in the freezer in their original packaging or in an airtight freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Make sure the bag is sealed tightly, pressing out any excess air. Properly stored, frozen cherries can maintain their best quality for 8-12 months. There's no need to thaw them before adding to smoothies or baking; however, if you need to thaw them, do so in the refrigerator to maintain quality.
