All About Cherries
One of our favourite things to do is shop in season which is why this month we’re going to be buying lots and lots of delicious cherries. 
The majority of cherries are Sweet variety, which are local June through August. There are some varieties of Cherries that are Sour which are available in July.
When you select a sweet cherry, look for fruit that is plump and firm. The skin should be deep red or yellow and the stems should be green. Cherries just need a quick rinse in cool water and are ready to eat raw. They also make excellent ingredients for muffins, fruit salads, pies, cold soups, sauces and jams.
