How to Choose the Best Frozen Cherries
Sweet vs. Tart Cherries
Frozen cherries typically come in two main varieties: sweet (like Bing or Rainier) and tart (like Montmorency). Sweet cherries are ideal for snacking or desserts where a milder sweetness is desired. Tart cherries, with their bright, acidic flavor, are excellent for baking pies, sauces, and jams, as they provide a more intense cherry taste and hold their shape well when cooked.
Pitted vs. Unpitted
Most frozen cherries are sold pitted for convenience, saving you the time and mess of removing pits. If you plan on using cherries for recipes where the pit's flavor is desired (though uncommon) or if you prefer to pit them yourself, unpitted options might be available. However, pitted cherries are generally the preferred choice for most home cooks and bakers.
Packaging and Form
Look for cherries that are individually frozen (IQF) if possible, as this prevents large clumps and makes it easier to measure out the exact amount needed. Packaging should be sturdy and well-sealed to protect against freezer burn, which can degrade flavor and texture. Some brands may offer whole cherries, while others might be halved or sliced, depending on the variety and intended use.
