Summer begins with the first bite of a sweet cherry! Rainier Cherries is our family favorite.

I love cherries in (on?) cherry cheesecake, in a cobbler or pie, on top of a sundae, and in smoothies.

Growing up, we always loved my grammies cherry pies. I have never attempted one of my own, but I've decided that should change. :) have a wonderful summer everyone.

I like cherries on top of ice cream.

Straight out of the bag! Cherry pie is a close second, though!

Cherries are such a rare treat, I love eating them all on their own! However, a good chocolate cookie, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some tart cherries on top is an amazing dessert.

Cherries are a great thing to use with savory dishes. I take fresh cherries and pickle them.

Cherries are the best fruit ever! And there no wrong way to prepare them! They make everything better.

Cherries are the best!!!!

I love dried cherries When added with slivered almonds to sugar cookie dough before baking!

I love using some dried tart cherries and adding them to a tasty grilled cheese sandwich with some honey.
06/27/2011 12:24:20 PM CDT
My all-time favorite way to eat cherries is just fresh, one after another. Coming in with a close second is to eat them on salads with feta cheese. Yummmmmmmmm.

I would love to have the Life is like a of basket of cherries.. yummy!!
06/27/2011 12:24:39 PM CDT
I love to eat them plain! I once heard that eating 20 cherries has the same effect on headaches as taking 2 painkillers. Yay cherries!
06/27/2011 12:24:39 PM CDT
I love cherry flavored lemonade or limeade or even on top of a cheesecake. And cherry pie with ice cream on the side is a delicious summer treat! Chocolate covered cherry candies are amazing, and chocolate cherry flavored ice cream is my favorite flavor:)

This would be awesome to win! I love that I can trust Whole Foods to provide me with safe and healthy products! <3

I LOVE CHERRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cherry fresh and cold; Cheesecake with Cherry topping; Ice cold ginger ale or lemonade with some cherries dropped in the glass; freeze some for use later in the year during Thanksgiving & Christmas time. This fall going try my hand at preserves.
This summer will be my granddaughter first time eating after I de-seed them for her.

Just eating them fresh and enjoying their beautiful dark red color.

Coming from Michigan where Cherries are treasured I like mine plain, or in a black cherry soda float. Cut up some cherries and mix with vanilla ice cream and a light soda, rockin rye from faygo is great :)

Oh how I looove cherries! One of my favorite ways to eat them in the summertime is so simple and full of cool slushy deliciousness... FROZEN!
