Picking cherries....to give away and preserve before I leave for vacation. Decided to freeze some. Does anyone know how? Check out my blog, which shows some of my harvest.

Hi Desiree, I flash freeze mine. Put them on a cookie sheet, sans the pit. Once they are frozen then put them in a bag. I have also frooze them ready to bake a pie with. Check out the website for the University of Georgia, they have recipes from the Ball Blue Book. I like to can them in a syrup for use on ice cream , which I plan to make and give away for christmas presents this year, getting the cherries off my backyard tree...that is if the birds dont get to them first.

Hi Desiree! Last summer I was gifted with some cherries from a friend. All I did was pit them, add sugar, and put them in the freezer container. I added the amount of sugar called for in my pie recipe, because my freezer container was just the right size for one pie recipe. I think it was 4 cups cherries and one cup sugar, but it could have been more sugar. You could probably also flash freeze them on a cookie sheet then put them in your freezer bag so you can take out as many as you need at one time and they won't be clumped together. |
