Baking back on with cherry find
Fresh cherries may be but a memory — at least for the most part — as we rapidly move through autumn, but Candy Adkins still can bake a cherry pie, thanks to suggestions from fellow readers on where to find unsweetened sour red cherries.
Sharla Layton e-mailed that she found them at Smith’s, 9851 W. Charleston Blvd., noting that they’re not with the canned pie fillings but with the canned fruit. She also recommended the dark-red Morello cherries from Trader Joe’s. Jo Anne Jones said she gets them at Smith’s and Judi Erickson found the Oregon brand at Albertsons. Karen Firmani and Klara Horvath found fresh ones during the season (July) at the Jones Market & Deli, 3389 S. Jones Blvd., and Firmani added that frozen cherries are available there as well. Horvath also suggested the International Marketplace, 5000 S. Decatur Blvd. …
