Why Cherries
I love everything about cherries. Growing up in Sault Ste Marie, we attended the annual Cherry Festival in Traverse City. We went and picked cherries and brought them home where we made jams, preserved them with liqueurs and ate them by the handfuls. It was a wonderful adventure; my nonna and mom made a special picnic to take a long and there would always be a stop for ice cream once we were there. They were such special times.

Somehow cherries always made their way to the table on Valentine’s Day and still today. Perhaps it is the red colour of cherries that draws them to the table today??? Cherries have many health benefits : https://www.care2.com/greenliving/11-health-benefits-of-the-beautiful-cherry.html
