Carmine Jewel and Montmorency cherries. Ate some fresh, made a pie with the rest.

Carmine Jewell Cherry Yields increasing with age

Got enough cherries to make a pie! They were about 60% Carmine Jewel and 40% Montmorency. The third picture shows Carmine jewel on the left, Monty on the right. The pie really was fantastic. These both tested 12 brix but I was fine eating them fresh. I don’t make a lot of pies so I bought a two pack of frozen pie crusts and cut the second one up and pieced it on top. That’s why it looks a little funny. [image][image][image]

Also finished picking my Lapins cherries.

Sweet Cherries 2017

Picked my Lapins 2 days ago. Most tested at 20 or 21 brix. Not quite as crunchy as a Bing but still a nice texture. The tree is four years old but suffered from winter dieback the first year. [image][image][image]
