Peak of the Season: Cherries

Spring berries make way for summer cherries, beloved picks in the Produce Department in these warmer months. 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. Find this recipe and other cherry-focused picks below.
 

Tasty Tips:

• 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.
• Cherries should be used within a few days of purchase to ensure freshness.
