What are the red things on Paul McCartney's album?

On the cover Paul McCartney's solo 1970 release "McCartney", there is a bowl with red stuff inside and little red things all around it. I know some say cherries, some say gelatin, and of course some say something different. What exactly are those red things?

Cherries are the items around the bowl, cherry juice is in the bowl

I wondered this, sometimes, too, but I think it's just cherries. Like a bowl of cherries.
