Do You Like Cherries?

I have always liked Cherry Pie and snacking on Bing or Queen Anne Cherries, but yesterday I had RANIER CHERRIES for the first time and they are my NEW FAVORITE Cherry.
 

I like a maraschino cherry or two, with the stem, in the bottom of my Manhattan or a great homemade sour cherry pie.

The maraschino cherry in my Manhattan is still a possibility but the homemade sour cherry pie is just a fond memory.
 

I love cherries. They were on sale this week at $1.88 a pound. They came from the state of Washington.Next week they will be sky high again so I bought 4 pounds. The hubby and I have been snacking on them every night. I use to love maraschino cherries also until at the age of 9 or 10 when I found 2 jars my Mom had stashed away for a recipe and I ate both jars in one sitting. I can't look at one to this day without feeling sick.
 
Love cherries, my favourite fruit. It is cherry season here, so I bought a bunch to snack on, and some tart ones for pies. Made five, froze four, have almost finished eating one. Next will be raspberry, peach, and apricot pies.

Aren't Rainier's the best?!? Don't care what they cost per lb., will still buy them. We're lucky we have such large cherry crops and varieties out here.
 
I like cherries, had the dark sweet ones recently and one of these pies.....excellent!

Does anyone know how to remove the pits to make a cheery pie. (Spelling intentional).

I used a pair of needle nose pliers, but there has to be an easier way.

In Canada we get the Washington state cherries and we also get the Bing cherries from British Columbia.

It depends on the season. Sometimes cherries are more juicy than other years.
 
Have always loved fresh cherries. Raniers are great as well as Queen Ann and Black Heart. Season is short and they are expensive but I usually splurge when they are in. My excuse ... they are full of vitamins.

Mom had a sour or pie cherry tree in back yard and she made delicious pies but her chocolate pie was my personal favorite.
