<\/a><\/p>\nAt this exact moment, there are two vacuum-sealed bags of sour cherries in my freezer smiling at me each time I open my freezer door. So yeah, maybe they aren’t really smiling at me, maybe it’s just me smiling at them. And yes, perhaps my love for sour cherries is just a bit too intense and maybe I could be projecting emotions onto them that don’t really exist. I can’t help it though, there’s just something about their sweet, tangy tartness that I can’t seem to let go. I’m totally addicted. One thing’s for sure, their presence in my freezer is definitely worth a happy dance.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, I couldn’t resist buying up another big ol’ batch of sour cherries a few weeks ago, while at my local farmer’s market. It’s a good thing I did too, because it was the last week my preferred fruit seller actually had them for sale. The heartbreak. They’re only in season for such a short amount of time; it feels like they pretty much come and go in the blink of an eye. I wish they were available all year round, but I suppose that’s part of what makes them so special. With these sweet, tart, and tangy preserves, at least I can relish their sour cherry goodness a wee bit longer.<\/p>\n
