Black cherries

-You might try looking for Bing cherries. At the moment, they are available fresh all over the place here in Toronto. jlh

Not really, imported from south of the Equator, where it is now starting summer in all likelihood. We do not rely on imports from the U.S. as much as we used to with the availability of air freight via

747s... so I'm seeing lots of fruit from South America, the islands of the Caribbean, Africa and Asia as well as Australia and New Zealand here in Toronto all winter long.

I should'a guessed.

I grew up in western NY, and knew they didn't have 'em there. Been living out here so long, I thought access to those was something unique to living here.

It's amazing what 4 decades will getcha...(:-o)!

Those are available but they are "red", not black. I've previously bought "black" varieties and was just looking for the same again.

thanks

Ray,

Traverse City Michigan is the "Cherry Capital" of the US (60% of the pie cherries used in the US come from there, have huge cherry fest, etc). Having grown up in NW Michigan with a cherry farm as our neighbor, there are several places that sell the fruits via the internet. Do a google or dogpile

search on Michigan cherries or Traverse City cherries and one of the many cherry farms will allow you to mail order everything from dried cherries (the sour montmorencey we are used to in pies to the sweet dark Napoleans and Schmidts) to flash frozen. Try this page as a good starting poing luck, Mary

Mary...

thanks...while none of them appear to have what I'm looking for, I did leave an e-mail with some of them asking them if they knew of a retail source.
