Cherries always remind me of the summer's spent at my grandparents' house. I could never get enough of them, I knew when I went to their house there was always some cherries to be eaten. Who doesn't love cherries with good memories :)

Yum!!! I could eat a whole gallon of fresh Bing cherries if anyone ever let me.

This sounds perfect for entertaining on a summer night! I would love to bake a cherry tart and bring it with us to a concert in the park! Thank you for the amazing idea!! :)

I like to make a cherry-almond crisp (with a coconut/almond/oats topping).

Wow! What a great basket! Cherries are fantastic - just used some this morning for breakfast!

We love them fresh & sometimes I will bake them or other fruits in a galette. Mostly fresh though! Yum!!! Thank you!!

I pretty much love cherries any way you make them, but my favorite is just eating them plain and spitting out the pits. It's a wonderful way to start the summer

I love cherries in a smoothie with almond milk and chocolate protein powder!

I love cherries fresh and cold. I grew up in Michigan and the sour cherries are just the best. I also love adding dried cherries to chocolate chip cookies, salads, oatmeal, homemade granola and anywhere else I would use raisins or dried cranberries

Who doesn't love cherries !

Fresh cherries are the best as a snack, but I love cherry pie, and dried cherries on salads! YUM!

Cherry Pie is by far my favorite dessert ever. But I will eat cherry anything. I love cherries on their own. I can eat them all day long. But I also enjoy cherries on my pancakes, ice cream, cherry mustard (from Razoo's, not even sure if real cherries are used but it's yummy), Cherry coke, cherry jam, etc. You get the idea, I pretty much love Cherry EVERYTHING!

Yummy! We would love this package. Huge Cherry and Whole Foods Fans!

I love cherries straight up! Although, I made a dark cherry smoothie recently that was pretty good, too!

Cherries seem to be amazing here in NO. Cal this year...maybe it was all the rain....they are big and extra sweet!

I love eating fresh cherries for medical reasons, which is a whole list of in itself. Cherry Sprite is the bomb, mmmmmm!!!!

I love eating cherries on top of vanilla greek yogurt! Yummy!

My favorite way to enjoy cherries is straight from the tree. When I was a child, a friend of mine had a cherry tree in her backyard. I thought she was so lucky! We would pick the cherries and eat them fresh or mix them in smoothies. Summertime bliss.

06/27/2011 12:22:02 PM CDT

I love cherry pies! The best of summer...
06/27/2011 12:22:05 PM CDT
LOVE cherries! They're the best just plain by the handful, but I also like mixing them in with plain yogurt or baking them into my Marriage Cobbler (every time I make it, the men in the group all invariably ask me to be their wife and make this for them for the rest of their lives!)
