Editorial illustration of dark red sweet cherries with stems and a cut cherry showing its stone on pale stone

Sweet or tart is the first question.

Cherry is a broad starting point. Sweet cherries and tart, or sour, cherries bring different balances to food and drink. Look for the type named on the pack rather than choosing by colour alone. The dark sweet cherries in this illustration show one expression of the fruit.

Fresh cherries

Enjoy the flesh on its own or in a simple fruit bowl. Remove stems and stones before using cherries in a blended or chopped preparation.

Frozen or dried

Check whether the fruit is pitted and whether anything has been added. Follow frozen-fruit preparation directions and check pitted fruit for remaining stone fragments.

Juice or concentrate

Read whether the label specifies sweet cherry or tart cherry. A concentrate needs its own dilution instructions; it is different from a ready-to-drink blend.

A place to start.

Identify the cherry

Start with the variety or type on the label. Choose a recipe intended for sweet or tart cherries so the flavour balance makes sense.

Wash and remove the stones

Wash fresh fruit just before use. Remove stems and stones, checking each piece before adding the flesh to a blender or dish.

Taste before sweetening

Try a little of the prepared fruit with your chosen pairing. Adjust only after tasting the whole combination.

Keep the type with the name.

A cherry illustration cannot identify the fruit used in a drink. The ingredient list and maker's description are the useful starting points for choosing a particular blend.

What to look for.

Look for sound fruit

Choose firm cherries without bruising. Handle them gently and refrigerate fresh fruit until needed.

Read the fruit description

Keep sweet cherry and tart cherry distinct when comparing products. Ask the maker if the ingredient information leaves the type unclear.

Choose for your preparation

Fresh fruit, dried pieces and juice concentrate have different textures and uses. Follow the directions for the exact product.
