Yul Lose Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 There have been pretty good cherries around here this year and the price has been pretty good too. Usually the white or Rainier cherries are about double the price of the red bing type but yesterday at my favorite market the Rainiers were $1.99lb I don’t recall them being that cheap here in the past. I bought a couple of pounds and they sure are good. What’s your favorite? Red or white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hmmm...both? I guess it depends on the crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Two, three years back I noticed some red cherries in my local Publix for $2.99 a pound. Bought some. Not bad. I'd never had fresh cherries before. Had dried ones, and cherry-flavored stuff, but never cherries. About a month later I saw some Ranier cherries. $5.99 a pound. I have no idea what they taste like.

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Red, unless the have already been squeezed, bottled and properly aged. Actually, we don't usually get white cherries around here. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Red. I think it may be a mental thing, but dark red cherries seem to have more cherryness to them than white or yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perro Del Diablo Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Ranier are better to me. The bings are usually cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Deer camp owners down the way from us soak big red Michigan cherries in moonshine for a couple years. A staple of deer camp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Wheeler Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Been eating red Bing cherries since I was a kid. Never knew about Rainier white cherries until my wife brought home a bag of them last week. Very tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
