tart cherries

Baking cherry variety

Tart cherries are a variety of cherry with a sour, acidic flavor, as opposed to the sweet cherries eaten fresh.

They're too sour for most people to enjoy raw but are prized for baking, preserves, and juice: tart cherry pie, tart cherry concentrate.

The Montmorency is the dominant tart cherry variety in North America.
