My favorite way to enjoy cherries is with a nice, creamy cherry cheesecake. There is nothing quite like it in the world.

This may be hard to believe, but I just realized that I LOVE cherries just about 2 weeks ago! I remember getting those small, hard, chewy and weird-tasting cherries in my 7-Up as a kid, and always giving them away because I found them very disgusting. That's what I thought cherries were. It wasn't until receiving a carton of local, organic Bing cherries in my CSA box just 2 weeks ago that I fell madly in love with cherries. At least these specific Bing ones. I've been missing out all these years, but have full intention to make up for lost time.

I would be thrilled to win this! I am trying to get more fruits and veggies in our diet, and what better way than cherries and pie! :)

My husband and I love cherries- a fresh handful for lunch or our favorite- a cherry pie!!! Cherries make the world a better place :-)

I live in Virginia, and we had a cherry tree in our yard when I was growing up. There is no better way to eat cherries (in my humble opinion) than just eating the raw fruit. I love cherry pies, or cooked cherries over ice cream. But the fruit stands alone!

I just love cherries in pie, but my all-time favorite is cherries in a smoothie!! OMGosh!! Cherries are a super sweet base to any fruit mix and are so healthy for you!! LOVE CHERRIES!!

I love making cherry sauce to top ice cream, cherry claufouti, ice water cherries (put cherries in ice water for a few minutes), cherry filling to wrap up in filo dough. I LOVE CHERRIES!

I love adding a cherry in my pina colada for adornment, cherries to a walnut herb chicken salad mix followed by cherries for dessert. Yummy !

I make jams to enjoy throughout the year, as well as a few pies and tarts, and always save some to eat just as they are. Delicious!
