20 Cherry Recipes to Add a Pop of Color to Your Menu

I love cooking and baking with cherries. Cherries have a very unique color that make all recipes really pop and add a splash of color that I love.

Of course, besides for the cherry aesthetic, they are just so good and yummy. Fresh cherries aren’t always in season but many recipes that call for fresh cherries can sub frozen cherries instead. These cherry recipes are great way to enjoy cherries!
