What Would You Do With a Case of Cherries?
| Meet the Blogger | More Posts by Carol Medeiros Congratulations to Kati, Chantal, Rachel, Miriam & Rebecca! Thank you everyone who participated in this; your answers were alternately amusing, heartwarming and scrumptious!
That’s right…a whole case of cherries! We’re giving away a case of cherries to five randomly selected winners and we want to know what you would do with a whole case of cherries.
Now, you may ask, how much is a case? It’s a LOT. Say, about 10 pounds. Enough to fill a kitchen sink. Make five cherry pies. Hold a cherry pit-spitting contest for the whole gang. Whatever you have in mind, it’s probably enough to make it happen…and more.
So, get busy thinking about what you would do with a case of cherries and enter your comment below by July 14th.
Stumped by the bounty? We shared our Best Cherry Recipes and some of our food blogger friends sent over their favorite cherry dishes as well. These are sure to get your creative juices flowing.
Now, let us know what you would do with a case of cherries in the comments by July 14th and, who knows, you just might be lucky enough to win!
Note: These are red Washington cherries and will be shipped directly to you from our farmer partners. Depending on availability and quality, they may be organic or conventional.

I would host a Cherry Party, with an ice cream-making station, petite Cherry tarts, Iced teas with Cherries, and of course...a knot tying contest!

I'd eat them all whole and then sit and watch "Witches of Eastwick"

I would take the tsunami of cherries to a food pantry / homeless shelter in Paterson, NJ. There would be enough cherries for everyone to enjoy! Those poor folks seldom have an opportunity to nourish themselves with fresh, quality produce. It is in giving that we recieve. (I might try one or two, just to make sure they're ok, though. Lol)

Use some for a cherry pie, and the rest for some home made cherry vodka.

If I had a case of cherries, I would share with my family and co-workers, and keep them fresh and un-altered. Cherries are so tastey as-is that I don't see how I could improve their taste. I ate at least 2 lbs of raw cherries this week already!

What would I do with a case of cherries?
Pies and smoothies.

I would sit on the porch in rocking chairs with my 83 year old aunt Betty and challenge her to a pit spitting contest!

I would eat all of them myself. I might have to put some up as jam but I think I would save all of them for myself. I love Bing Cherries sooooooooooooooooo much.

* Fage greek yogurt, cherries, raw sliced almonds
* Pie or tart or crisp or cobbler of some sort.
* Cherry + rosemary freezer jam, perhaps?
* Dark choc-covered cherries
* Cherry balsamic glaze (to top your amazing wild sockeye salmon)... See More
* Eat them straight up! and share. :-)

I get them so rarely I would just sit down and eat them all myself - love them sooooo much!

Since I LOVE cherries, I would eat a very large amount. I think I would make cherry jelly, preserves, syrup, pie, learn to make sorbet, and share some with my family. Maybe cherry wine would be good too.

I would eat very many of them, as I love cherries. I'd make pie, cake, syrup, jelly, jam, preserves, tarts, and sorbet. I think I'd have to try to make cherry wine, and I think I'd have to plant a lot of cherry pits and see what happened.

As I love cherries, besides all the things I would make with them, how I would plant the seeds, etc, I would eat them and share them with my family and friends.

Christmas presents in the form of a simple cherry bounce. 1 bottle whiskey or bourbon, 2 cups sugar, 1 lb. cherries. Age for 3-6 months in dark place giving it a shake now and again. Bottle for gifts!

I have problems with gout and found cherries to be the best medicine. I eat tons of cherries and drink cherry juice every morning and it really helps to keep my gout under control. If I had a case of cherries I would eat some of them and freeze some of them so I will never be without my favorite fruit/medicine!
