I appreciate your reading....Hi Kristine: Thank you! I appreciate your reading. Door County mostly grows the good old Montmorency,so that's a good start. If your cherries were flash frozen individually, without sugar, and are still cherry-red, you can try the pie, perhaps with an additional T cornstarch and a little more lemon to be on the safe side. Use them straight from the freezer. The preserves, definitely. The recipe for pickled cherries and vinegar, at this link, are also a safe bet: http://littlecomptonmornings.blogspot.com/2008/08/sublime-sour-cherry.html . You can also use them for a salsa or chutney or other sauce. However, if the cherries were frozen with sugar or in syrup, or were blanched, they will not be ideal for pie. Use them for something else, like a nice sauce. Let me know how you make out.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068348526232036423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446802283239662385.post-88101807202522306532009-09-01T17:54:32.390-04:002009-09-01T17:54:32.390-04:00Hi Jane,

I have received 4-5 cups frozen pitted sour cherries (Door County cherries) and I am wondering if this recipe will work with frozen cherries or can be modified.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925259856178332950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446802283239662385.post-82693948868430513702008-06-16T19:05:00.000-04:002008-06-16T19:05:00.000-04:00Hi Willa: As a NJ native myself, I doubt you will ...Hi Willa: As a NJ native myself, I doubt you will find sour cherries (possibly currants)--but the good news is, if you are not too far from Philadelphia, one of the Amish farmers sells them at Reading Terminal Market: Kauffman's Lancaster County Produce. You can find him using this map: http://www.readingterminalmarket.org/merchants/category/produce The trick is to catch them during the right weeks--sometime between about now and early July.
