About Cherries, sour, red, frozen, unsweetened
The sour cherry (Prunus cerasus), also called the tart cherry, is a smaller, softer, more acidic cousin of the sweet cherry, with bright red flesh and a vivid tang that makes it the baker's favorite. Too tart for most people to enjoy raw, it comes into its own once sweetened and cooked, which is why it is the classic cherry for pies, cobblers, clafoutis, preserves, and sauces for pork and duck. Popular types include the bright-red, light-fleshed Montmorency, the workhorse of American pie filling and juice, and the darker, richer Morello favored in Europe.
Sour cherries are low in calories, with roughly 50 to 55 in a cup, and rich in vitamin C, potassium, and anthocyanin antioxidants, and tart cherry juice is widely studied for easing muscle soreness and supporting sleep through its natural melatonin. They are sold fresh in their short summer season, as well as frozen, dried, canned, and juiced, and they even flavor Belgian kriek beer. A cherry pitter makes quick work of the stones.
Store fresh sour cherries unwashed in the refrigerator and use them within a few days, or pit and freeze them on a tray to bake with year-round.
