I Love Cherries.....

One of my all time favorite foods has always been cherries and pretty much anything cherry flavored. As a small child, my grandparents had a cherry tree growing in their yard and I distinctly remember sitting under the tree and eating cherries straight off the tree (or ground) until I was sick.

(Mind you, I may "remember" this but that doesn't necessarily mean that it happened as it seems that a lot of my memories are just made up or blown WAY out of proportion!)

Anyway, we are currently in the midst of cherry season here in California so I've been buying lots and lots of cherries at the grocery store. Today, I feel like I'm that small child again. I brought a BIG container of cherries to the office with me today and am slowly making my way through it (using a coffee cup as my pit spittoon). The only problem is that I think I have definitely reached my quota on cherries....

Does anybody know how many cherries make up a serving?

Love cherries!!!!!! My grandparents had a farm we used to pick as a kid. Serving size didnt matter much than.

Cherry flavor on the other hand. Not so much. It was the only flavor medicine was back then, ickk

I bought cherries at the grocery yesterday and they are delicious! As sweet as can be. Plus the kids think it is way fun to spit the pits. We are high class.
