Want to know how the bing cherry go its name?

In the late 1800s, a man named Seth Lewelling was responsible for the creation of the most famous sweet cherry variety grown today, the Bing, as well as the lesser known Black Republican and Lincoln varieties. As a ...strong supporter of President Lincoln at the time, Seth named his cherries accordingly.

The Bing cherry is named after Seth Lewelling’s Manchurian orchard foreman and friend, Bing. Bing was over 7 feet tall.

Freezing cherries is sweet and simple. It’s a great way to enjoy a cool summer treat, and extend the short peak season.


🍒 Rinse: rinse firm, ripe cherries – stems and all – in cold water and drain thoroughly.
🍒 Pack: pack cherries in plaster freezer bags or ...freezer-proof containers. Remove excess air and seal package.
🍒 Freeze: place cherries carefully in the freezer with nothing stacked on top of them. Once cherries are frozen solid, they can be stacked.
