VARIETIES
There are two main species of cherries: sweet and sour. Most sold in markets are sweet. Sour cherries are generally used in processed foods, preserves and juices, and to make cherry brandy. About 50 varieties are grown in Australia, with more being developed. The more widely available varieties include: Merchants, Supreme, Ron Seedlings, Bing, Lapin, Sweetheart and Sweet Georgia. These range from light red to an almost black skin, with red flesh and sweet juice. The morello cherry, a sour variety, is grown predominantly in Europe, although there are some growers in Australia’s southern states.
CHOOSING CHERRIES
Cherries are harvested ripe and are best stored in the fridge. Wash and dry, then loosely pack in a covered container before refrigerating. Leave stems attached as they help to keep cherries fresh.
