Rainier Cherries

Have you ever tried Rainier cherries?  They are one of my favorite summer fruits and June is the peak month for them.

The best Rainier cherries are large and firm.  Since they are considered a  “premium” type of cherry, they are  somewhat on the expensive side but usually worth the price, if only as an occasional treat/splurge.  Of all the cherry varieties, Rainier cherries contain the highest percentage of natural fruit sugar so they are almost always exceptionally sweet and tasty. 
What is your favorite summer fruit?

I have had them and they're delicious! For me they're a treat tho because they're so expensive:(

For me ice cold watermelon is the only way to go. Since moving to Washington state 10 years ago, Rainier cherries have become a special once in a while treat. They are awesome.

My favorite summer fruit is a toss-up between our local Willamette Valley, Oregon strawberries (on right now!) and the raspberries in my backyard. We don't have Rainier cherries but we have the most delicious local cherries that are 'to die for'.

Mmmmm, those cherries look delicious! My favourite fruit is strawberries. Our season here is very short so we enjoy them while we can. Have a wonderful weekend.

Blessings,

I've never tried these cherries...not that I know of anyway! But, I'm on a quest now to hunt them down.

About the furniture you commented on my post about...

Never in my life have I come upon such a great deal for such amazing furniture. I PROMPTY moved the French Dresser and Cheset into my TINY master bedroom and I simply love it. OUT came the other French Dresser (it was sweet but only 6 drawers) and the chest of drawers I secretly wasn't all that found of! The room has been transformed by these two darling old pieces. $100 for the five pieces and about $15 worth of paint. Whoot Whoot! Love saving those nickels.

Love your bloggie, Shari. Always my JOY and PLEASURE TO visit. Thanks for visiting me, too!
Love to you~
