I love Cherries!!!!

Cherries are available for only a few weeks in the summer, so in those few weeks, I take full advantage and always have them in my fridge. Eat them within a couple days because they can spoil quickly!
Some benefits of cherries are:
 A low-calorie fat-free snack or dessert.
 A good source of vitamin C.
 High in pectin, a soluble fiber that lowers cholesterol.

A cup of pitted sweet cherries contains about 140 calories and has 20mg of vitamin C, or 20 percent of the recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)

Canning reduces these nutrients. Eating them raw is BEST!!
