Cherries are in season here in Michigan in June.  So what to do with all those wonderful tasty fruit?  This is a question I have to answer every year.  Cherries have to be eaten fast, in my opinion, or they get too soft.   So I do a lot of baking around then, making pies, strudels, cobblers and then place them in the freezer for later in the year when we get a taste for fresh cherries.

Using fresh cherries in your recipes is so much better than using canned.  If you can pick them yourself, that is the best.  You will not have the additives such as sugar with fresh fruit.
