How to freeze cherries...
Start with ripe cherries.
Rinse them and pat them dry.
Pit the cherries, working over a baking sheet to catch their juices.
Put pitted cherries, including their juices, on the baking sheet as you work.
Put only as many cherries as fit in a single layer on the pan.
Put the pitted cherries in the freezer and freeze them until they are completely frozen, at least a few hours and up to overnight.
Once cherries are completely frozen, transfer them to a sealable plastic bag or other sealable container for long-term storage.
Work out as much air from the container as possible. You can use a straw to suck the air out, if you like.
Use frozen cherries in smoothies, shakes, or any baked goods in which you would use fresh pitted cherries.
Note: Frozen cherries taste great just as they are, as a lovely, chilly treat.
