Both red and green candied cherries are preserved with sugar and a lot of food coloring. If they wanted to, they could also make orange or purple candied cherries.
They don't, they just dye them green. The cherries used to make maraschino cherries are generally very light in color... more of a cream or yellow than red. To make green ones, they simply add green food coloring instead of red. (The same process is used in candied cherries... cherries in general are not as universally and vividly red as most people think.)

Sainsbury's has the red ones for a good price - you can get a mixture (red, yellow and green) at Julian Graves. I have not seen containers with ONLY green cherries yet.
how many cups of candied cherries equals a pound
I have. It is a family tradition to make it at Christmas time. It is wonderful! It is a sweet yeast bread that is braided before it is baked. I also has frosting with coconut, nuts and candied cherries on top. It's very pretty and delicious too.
