How to Freeze Cherries
Learn how to freeze cherries so you can enjoy them all year long!
Wash your cherries and remove the stems. Dry the cherries thoroughly.
Pit your cherries using a cherry pitter, straw, or knife.
(Optional) Flash freeze your cherries. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the cherries on the baking sheet in a single layer. This should take a couple of hours. Flash freezing helps keep the cherries from freezing in a clump, but if they’re dry when you place them in the freezer they won’t stick together too much.
Place the cherries in a freezer-safe container and store them in the freezer. They should last in the freezer for about six months.
