Cherries

How do you pick cherries?

When picking cherries take them gently off the tree by the stem. You will know that the cherry is ripe if the fruit comes off easily with the stem remaining intact. Place the cherry in a container gently in order to avoid damaging the flesh of the fruit. Repeat this process until you have the amount you need.

How do you prepare cherries?

Cherries are the perfect snack and often need no preparation at all. Remember to also eat the peel, which is rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins! They can also be cooked and make an elegant addition to many recipes. Always wash cherries before eating them raw or cooking them.

How do you store cherries?

Keep cherries in a cool place. In warm temperatures, they lose flavour and freshness. Cherries can be kept in the fridge for up to a week to maintain their quality.
