It’s cherry season and they are a treat in many recipes. They can be preserved in many ways also!
Freezing, dehydrating and canning are all options for cherries. Frozen cherries can be eaten as snacks, mixed into oatmeal or used in desserts. Dehydrated cherries are great snacks, add to a leafy green salad, or mix into a trail mix. There are many options for canning cherries such as jam, jelly, pie filling, or just plain cherries canned in water or a sugar syrup. Plain cherries can be canned with or without the pits.
