Wed Jul 11 06:52:39 -0700 2007 74508 trev80 1 2739363 I saw some at the River Street Whole Foods market last night - quart containers from Red Jacket Orchards in New York for about 6 bucks. I've had those in the past and they're very good. In past years I've also seen them (from Red Jacket) at Wilson Farms, AND at some Stop&Shop supermarkets - in the latter case, at MUCH lower prices. I'll be checking there obsessively for the next week or so to see if I can stock my freezer. There have also been scattered reports of seeing them at farmer's markets recently - I know that Cook's Orchards (who have stands at several markets) have them in very limited quantities for a week or two every year - if you want those, get to the market when it opens, as they sell out fast. Wed Jul 11 09:20:51 -0700 2007 2738795 10901 MichaelB 2 2739417 The pie stand at Union Sq. (Sat.) has had them the past 2 weeks, $7/qt. last week. They're also at Brookline (Thurs.) where she said the cherries sell really fast (all those Eastern Europeans).

Wed Jul 11 09:36:22 -0700 2007 2738795 49650 makonna 2 2751827 Sour cherry season is finished locally. The last of the late varieties of sweets are now being picked. Thet too will soon be done for the season.There afre very, very few grown in massachusetts as al trees really need to be netted to keep the birds from destroying the crop, and that is difficult, expensive and risky (thunderstorms can tear the netting off an orchard in two minutes flat!) Now is blueberry and summer raspberry season. Peaches and nectarines will soon be in season. If you've never picked a tree ripe peach off a tree, then you've NEVER eaten a peach.

They're from a farm in New York (although not Red Jacket Orchards, as I erroneously reported above) and they're a relative bargain: 3 bucks a quart. I got some last night at the store near Union Square, Allston (I think on North Beacon st.) - I don't know all the stores have them or not. They were in excellent condition, but they deteriorate pretty quickly (and probably sell out as well) so I'd go soon. Tue Jul 31 09:26:31 -0700 2007 2738795 10901 MichaelB 2 2806127 I found some at Stop & Shop in Saugus on Squire Rd. last night. $2.99/qt= great price. And they're still in good condition. ... my Eastern European boyfriend loved them :) Thu Aug 02 04:51:53 -0700 2007 2799672 109830 JessFM 1 2800044 Not sure where you are- but I did see them this weekend at Wilson Farms in Lexington. Tue Jul 31 10:59:19 -0700 2007 2738795 11057 macca 2 2803632 Got them at Fruit Center in Milton last week! Wed Aug 01 10:55:55 -0700 2007 2800044 21746 blacknbleu 1 2808822 Sour cherry season is over. If you are seeing someting labeled sour cherry at farmer's markets, they are likely Dukes, a sweet-sour hybrid. Only possibility that they are "real" sour cherries is if they come froma very Northern location. www.littlecomptonmornings.blogspot.com Thu Aug 02 16:36:34 -0700 2007 2738795 91169 janeer
