Maraschino cherries were originally made with marascacherries. These grow around the area of the Adriatic sea. Beginning in the 1880's, the Luxardo company (makers of the famous Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur) began exporting jarred cherries to the U.S. and these were the same cherries which were used in its liqueur, along with the pits. Now, other generic brands of "maraschino cherries' are widely available and these are what most people are familiar with but they bear little resemblance to Luxardo cherries. You can still get Luxardo cherries, however, in specialty gourmet stores or online.

How do you get rid of the red color in cherries to make them green?

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.)


Where do maraschino cherries come from?

Marasca cherries are a small bitter Italian cherry used to make the liqueur "Maraschino". This liqueur was in turn used to flavor other cherries for decorative effect in cooking and drinks. Today, however, the "maraschino" cherries are produced in a number of locations from local cherries soaked in food coloring and sugar instead of by the original recipe. The cherries themselves are not Marasca cherries but any of a number of light fleshed sweet cherries


If sour cherries are picked before fully ripened will they ripen indoors?

Cherries will ripen if picked after they start to change color. You can place partilly ripe cherries in a bowl or paper bag at room temperature and they will ripen to a degree. We have used the technique on sweet and pie cherries as well as wild cherries. Of course they are not as sweet as cherries picked ripe on the tree but they are an improvement over cherries that you don't get at all because the birds ate them! Greg Schneider

Sour cherries, particularly Montmorency and Morello varieties, are ideal for pies due to their bright tartness that balances well with sugar. They maintain their shape during baking and provide a vibrant flavor that enhances the overall taste of the pie. Sweet cherries can also be used, but they may require additional sugar to achieve the desired flavor balance.
