And Maraschino cherries don't taste like cherries at all, but they are great on top of Sundaes and in cherry-vanilla Cokes.
Man, that sounds good! When I was a kid, one house we lived in in MI had a huge cherry tree in the backyard. I used to climb it all the time and pick and eat fresh cherries. I don't know what kind they were, though.GrillingFool said:Splurge and get some now, they are in season.
Get both Bing and Rainier!
And let a few of them sit for a while to get extra ripe.
They get soft and the flavor really intensifies!
Yum Yum
I am thinking of trying an over ripe cherry rub for steak....
I have a cherry tree in my parent's backyard. I'm not sure on what kind it is, but the cherries are perfectly edible. I know it's not maraschino cherries. Maraschino cherries are perfect for topping on a nice sundae or any kind of dessert.
