Five years ago I planted a dwarf tart cherry tree in the yard. Although it's called a "dwarf", in actuality it's maybe 15 feet high. For the last couple years, we've ended up with a few quarts of fruit, while the birds got the lion's share. This year I got a little smarter and invested in fruit tree netting.
Now I have more cherries than I know what to do with. Oodles more. In the past I've made pies, but one can only eat so many pies. We haven't picked them yet, so I don't have an exact quantity. But my guess is that there is enough there to fill about 2 or 3 one-gallon buckets.
So I'm looking for other ideas. I was thinking maybe cherry preserves. Or desserts (other than pies).
Any thoughts from the DC folks?
