Now, back to freezing those cherries. It's actually quite simple: just rinse them, pat them dry, and pop them into an airtight container or freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible from the container or bag to prevent freezer burn - you don't want your cherries to turn into cherry ice cubes!
Another important thing to note is that cherries are best frozen when they're fresh and at their peak ripeness. If you try to freeze them when they're overripe or mushy, they might not retain their texture and flavor. So, be sure to freeze them ASAP, or you'll be left with a bag of cherry jam - not that that's a bad thing, but you know what I mean!
