Cherry season is almost over, which we did not realize and I totally missed sour cherry season somehow, so no chance of making a cherry pie for me. Boo - I really want one. Mark did offer to go buy one last night, but I settled for something else. We did get a few white and red cherries, but the pickings were few because of the rain last weekend. Lots of splits and moldy berries. Bummer. I felt like I was in Japan - we were the only non-Japanese on the wagon ride up the orchard. I have a feeling many of our fellow pickers drove a long ways to get their cherries and I felt bad for them. For every 20 good cherries you might find one good one. So much waste! And they were very ripe! So whatever you picked you must eat in the next few days. I did try to make cherry muffins using a blueberry muffin recipe. Not sure yet if they are good? Still too hot to make that call. Next up are apricots. I've only had dried ones so I might so go pick a few for the fun of it. They also said early peaches are ready next weekend. Where did summer go?
