🍒 Cherries 🍒

I got back from the market about an hour ago, and I can't stay out of the bag of cherries. This happens every year, I make a 🐖 of myself. Cherries are so good, have you had any yet this year ?

LOVE cherries. On my second bag. I portion control them by not eating straight from the bag.

I have found that cherries have anti-inflammatory properties. My knees are feeling so much better since I have been enjoying the cherries!

I bought 2 bags of cherries already, both are from California.

The first bag they were small and sour, I knew I should of tried one in the store and the 2nd bag is just OK.

I think as the weeks go by, they will get better and better.

What state is your bag from?

Do you know they freeze great? We have a little pitter and we always freeze a bunch. They are almost better frozen.

Eat all you want. Before you can turn around the season will be over. There's nothing better than fresh, in-season cherries.

@IamDoodles

How do you prepare them to freeze? Don't they get mushy? Thanks!

We have been eating tons of cherries! The blackhearts are the best -- much sweeter!

I have not found any Bing cherries in the stores this year (I live in mid-west) The ones usually from the north west. The only ones I have found -- and they are decent but not as good are from California . Red and I do not think they have much taste. I wonder if there has been a problem with the Bing ? Usually this time of year every store is selling them.

I mostly look for produce from CA, but last year my grocery store had cherries from Canada and they were THE best, biggest, most beautiful and sweet, cherries I've ever had. I hope they have them again this year.

As the OP said, they are great for arthritis issues. When I was eating 8-10 cherries (it might not need to be that many) a day, my arthritis pain issues were almost nil. I'm glad somebody else brought this up, as I've mentioned it a few times in the Wellness forum and am always ignored. It's a good thing to know! I still have other pains, but it's nice to get rid of some of them for a while.

I LOVE cherries!

ETA - here is a pic I took last year of some of my Canadian cherries:

I am a "cherry adict". Have had 2 bags of them so far this year. Eat 'em like crazy. They've been nothing short of wonderful.

I wash them, remove stems, blot off excess water. Put them on cookie sheet to freeze. When frozen put them in ziplock bags. simple. Sometimes, when I'm feeling ambitious, I pit them too. When pitted they are delicious to pop into your mouth while still frozen. Very refreshing on a hot day.
