Fourth Of July Cherries

Fourth Of July Cherries

It is a holiday weekend here in the US and it is time for some Fourth of July cherries! This time of year cherries are one of my favorite things. That reminds me, you can still link to yesterdays Thursday Favorite Things Blog hop too. Cherries are in all of the markets around here at this time of year. My sweet husband is from Michigan, where they have the Cherry Festival  in Traverse City. Some of you may remember that I mentioned a while back that we plan to retire there ( please click HERE if you missed it).

    We discovered a few months back that cherries and tart cherry juice help people who have difficulty sleeping. My husband drinks it every night now before bed. These look yummy, Katie! Happy 4th!

    Cherries are on the counter right now. They get eaten too fast for anything to be made with them!

      Hi Debbie, do you freeze them fresh? xo

        July 6, 2014 at 7:45 PM

        Hi Katherine, yes – I use a sharp knife to go around the cherry and twist. This releases one half and makes it easier to get the pit out of the other. I then line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper and lay out the cherries evenly. The cookie sheet then goes into the freeze for a couple of hours to flash freeze (I don’t cover) The cherries can then be placed in a freezer Ziploc bag. The freezing on the cookie sheet allows the cherries to stay separate and not stick together in the storage bag.
