how to store fresh cherries?

Store cherries uncovered in the coldest part of the refrigerator. When kept refrigerated, fresh cherries will keep for up to 10 days.

Avoid storing cherries near strong-smelling food items. The taste of your cherries will be altered if they pick up these scents.

Preserve cherries by rinsing them under cold water only when you are ready to use or eat them.

Avoid placing cherries near windows, sunlit areas or other warm areas for a prolonged period of time. Warm environments cause cherries to deteriorate quickly.

Periodically check your cherries for decay. Remove rotten cherries immediately in order to preserve the rest of your bag or clam.

You can stick them into the nearest pie crust, make a cobbler, or pack them in plastic bags to freeze.

Switch the oven onto full blast and put them in there.
