While cherries aren’t harvested until summer, they are celebrated in February to enjoy the red color, popular in February, and to celebrate President George Washington’s birthday.
Cherries are found in a variety of forms including fresh, frozen, dried, canned, juice, and more! Besides a cherry pie, cherries are used in salads, as a topping for meat, poultry and fish, as a snack, in yogurt and smoothies, and even condiments such as a cherry mustard.
