Frozen Tart Cherries

Keep frozen until ready to use. If thawed, do not refreeze. They can be stored in their original packaging or transferred to an airtight container.

No need to thaw before baking: Frozen cherries can often be added directly to pies and crumbles, which helps prevent a soggy crust.

Adjust sugar: Since frozen tart cherries are quite tart, you may need to add more sugar to your recipes than you would with fresh, sweeter cherries.

Drain excess liquid: For recipes where you want less moisture, drain some of the juice from the thawed cherries before using.

Great for smoothies: Blend them into smoothies for a tart and refreshing flavor boost.

Thawing and refreezing: This can lead to mushy texture and potential spoilage.

Not accounting for tartness: Using the same amount of sugar as for sweet cherries can result in an overly sour final product.

Overcrowding the freezer: Ensure proper airflow in your freezer to maintain optimal freezing temperatures.
