Berries and Cherries

Spring berries make way for summer cherries, both beloved picks in the Produce Department in these warmer months. Great out of hand as a snack or healthful dessert, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are also sweet, beautiful additions to seasonal recipes for pies, trifles, salads and smoothies. When fresh cherries arrive around the Fourth of July, our recipe for Fresh Cherry Sauce is not to be missed. Canned pie filling it's not! It's as good on grilled chicken or pork as it is on desserts, including cheesecake, pound cake, ice cream and meringues.

Tasty Tip:

Berries and cherries should be kept cool and dry in the refrigerator; air circulation is a must. Don't wash them until just before use, as moisture is the enemy of these highly perishable fruits. They should be used within a few days of purchase to ensure freshness.
