Cherry season is here for a good time, not a long time. Make the most of this bite-sized stone fruit – bake them into a cherry pie, a Cherry Ripe pavlova or any of our sweet variations on the Black Forest cake. They work well in savoury dishes too, imparting a sweet-sour counterpart to roast ham, turkey and pork. Perfect for festive feasts come Christmas time.
