Frozen sweet cherries (Prunus avium) are ripe, pitted cherries frozen soon after harvest, preserving their sweet-tart flavor along with fiber, potassium, and antioxidant-rich polyphenols. Freezing makes it easy to enjoy cherries throughout the year without washing or pitting fresh fruit. Their naturally sweet flavor and deep color work especially well in smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, compotes, sauces, and desserts. Keeping frozen cherries on hand provides a convenient way to add fruit and cherry phytonutrients to everyday meals long after the short summer harvest has ended.
