About Cherries, sweet, canned, pitted, heavy syrup, drained

The sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is a small, glossy stone fruit beloved for its juicy, sugary flesh, with dark-red Bing and golden-blushed Rainier among the favorite varieties. Distinct from the sour or tart cherries used for pies and juice, sweet cherries are made for eating fresh by the handful during their short early-summer season, which is part of what makes them feel like such a treat. They are low in calories and provide vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and the anthocyanin antioxidants that give them their deep color and are studied for easing inflammation and supporting sleep.

Cherries are eaten out of hand, baked into pies, clafoutis, and tarts, simmered into preserves and sauces for pork or duck, or pitted and frozen for smoothies later. A cherry pitter makes quick work of removing the stones. Look for firm, plump, shiny fruit with fresh green stems and no soft spots, and store unwashed cherries in the refrigerator, washing them only right before you eat them so they keep longer.
