A very nice crop of cherries this year. We picked one day, pitted the next (at the pool!) and then preserved.
Sour cherry recipes here:
Sour Cherry Pie
Sour Cherry Preserves.
Maraschino Cherries
The take:
Pitting poolside.
Later, at home, stir with sugar and lemon juice.
Then cook.
Now, pie.
And maraschino cherries.
The pie of the season!
Fantastic.
