How do we select cherries

Buy cherries that have been kept cool and moist, as flavor and texture both suffer at warmtemperatures. Cherries have a limited growing season and any fresh cherries grown in the UnitedStates sold after August probably came from cold storage. Small quantities of sweet cherries areimported from New Zealand during the winter months, but these may be difficult to find. At themarket, pick a handful of cherries at a time and only select the best fruit.
