Frozen Sour Cherries

part of: Sour Cherry

Frozen sour cherries — sometimes called tart or morello cherries — have a sharp, tangy flavour that makes them ideal for baking. They’re the classic choice for cherry pies, strudels, and clafoutis, where their acidity balances the sweetness of pastry and sugar.

Because they’re unsweetened, you have full control over how much sugar goes into your dish. They also work well in savoury contexts, adding a fruity tartness to sauces for duck, pork, or game.
