One of the best things about the summer season is all the fresh produce that you can find. Although our goal would be to buy produce as locally as possible, here in Laramie that typically means heading to the "local" grocery store. Luckily in July through September, we are able to hit up our town's farmers' market every Friday afternoon, but aside from fresh eggs and some meat products, most other products, including the majority of fresh produce, come from northern Colorado. However, if that's as local as we can get, we'll take it! These cherries were picked up during a recent trip to Whole Foods; I have already used some in a few salads and I may just have some thoughts on doing some sort of chocolate-covered cherry treat, and quite possibly there might be a cherry pie or cherry kuchen coming out of my kitchen in the near future. And of course, cherries make an excellent snack -- helping to fuel future cherry-inspired recipes!
