cherries

[Aurora]

How long must you wait for cherries to ripen at home?

Should I keep it in the refrigerator. I have had them over 2 weeks
and they are still not fully ripe.

I would call my grocery store and ask the head of Produce.

I usually ripen fruit by putting it into a paper bag, and storing in a dark cupboard for a few days. Works very well with most fruit.

I am sitting here right now eating some big BING Cherries that I bought this morning.

Mama found the first Rainers locally last Saturday and bought three big bags......I look forward to them being on the shelves every year and we eat 'a lot' of them when available.

I just bought some Bing Cherries at the supermarket recently, can't say I've ever had to wait for them to ripen though. Just keep them in the fridge.

Impatiently waiting for our local Washington Rainiers to become available. Bings (Washington only) will do in a pinch. Rainier cherries are one of the few things I buy and ignore the price. Heaven! In the "old days" we'd pick our own cherries for 25 cents a pound!
