Cherries, Cherries and More Cherries...



We were able to pick almost two quarts of cherries. Along with about a half a quart of black raspberries. There are two different varieties of cherries; the one is a dark red cherry and the other is a golden/pink cherry. The golden cherries are much more tart than the dark red ones. Andrew would like to make a pie, the only problem is that because these cherries have been left to go wild they are smaller than cherries you would buy in the grocery store. This makes using the cherry pitter almost impossible as the cherries are too small. So we have to cut the cherries and remove the pits by hand which is turning out to be time consuming and messy! That's okay though, the find of all of these cherries on the property is well worth the mess!
