All About Cherries

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.  Check out some of these great cherry recipes:
