WHY CHERRIES?
Cherries are such a treat. Most months of the year, you can find imported cherries among your grocer's produce offerings, but they are often exhorbitantly priced and their freshness and taste just don't match locally grown.
Cherries are in season locally for such a seemingly short period, that cherry lovers anticipate this time of year with great excitement. Such cherry addicts can be found about this time of year with red fingers and discarded pits and stems strewn about them, a satisfied look on their faces.
