How to Choose and Store:

Select plump, bright colored, firm and juicy cherries. Store in the refrigerator, unwashed, but use promptly. Wash just before using. They will keep best if spread out on a tray before storing.

Both sweet and sour cherries freeze well in sugar or syrup, but sour cherries keep their flavor better.

Pitted sweet cherries add color and flavor to fruit compotes and salads. They are also a perfect picnic dessert and unbeatable for snaking time.
