Put the rosy-hue back in your cheeks with some Cherrylicious recipes this month. Bursting with flavour, cherries are a quick & healthy snack any hour of the day. The kids will love finding these hidden in their school lunch box for a cheeky cherry treat.
The most popular variant; sweet cherries are used universally in cooking and baking alongside their in ‘vogue’ sister the sour cherry. Sour cherries are a superior choice when making Cherry jam due to their high pectin levels, which make for a better set jam.
Cherries are a perfect accompaniment to cheese platters, great in a sauce, served with pork or as a super-sweet Cherry cheesecake.
Fresh cherries found in roadside stalls are a delicacy and a ‘dime a dozen’ if you come across one; freshly picked straight from the tree there is no sweeter way to eat these tiny, fleshy sweet bursts of flavour.
If fresh are unavailable due to seasonality, frozen pitted cherries or canned in syrup are a perfect alternative all year round. A low-budget alternative to when cherries are out of season.
A known healthy snack, cherries are a great source of Vitamin C and Potassium. Cherries are the new red hot super food, higher in antioxidants than many other known ‘super-food’ fruits (blueberries and strawberries).
Get your cherry a day and enjoy the delicious variety of recipes you can create with this wondrous fruit!
