The Perfect Season for Rainier Cherries

The stars aligned this year for a perfect growing season for Rainier cherries (aka white cherries). It seems all the Northwest states had bumper crops this year which translates to lower market prices (almost half the cost of last year). Hence, this summer is a great opportunity for one to sample these sweet fruits and make them a future summer staple. AZUR suggests pitting the cherries and leaving the stems. Then covering them with chocolate and placing in your freezer. Once frozen they are ready to serve. Simple but delicious.
