There's one fruit that I always keep in my freezer: dark, sweet cherries. They're the Goldilocks of stone fruit, with a deep red color and a well-balanced flavor
While the fresh stuff appears fleetingly every summer, frozen ones are always in season.
I've always been a bit of a late bloomer. That might be why it took roughly 7,000 of my closest friends and acquaintances telling me about frozen cherries
What was the big deal, I wondered. I'd eaten plenty of frozen fruit before—grapes, blueberries, strawberries, bananas
What I quickly discovered was that frozen cherries do something better than any other fruit straight out of the ice-box:
They snack like a boss, all by themselves. That's precisely why I now buy them all year—even during the summer months when fresh Rainier,
Chelan, and Bing cherries pull their seasonal takeover in the produce section. Of course, I buy those, too!
