We adore these, too! Trader Joe’s sometimes has the dried ones, which we scoop up we see them, and send them a loved one who is a Marine, currently in Afghanistan. Like you said- c’est mieux que rien!

In this magnificent cherry season, I think it just to note the passing of a very special man.

Harold Fogle.

Never heard of him, you say? Well, get down on your knees, point yourself toward Washington state, and get ready to express your deepest gratitude in any way that is meaningful to you.

In 1952, at age 31 while working at the University of Washington, Harold Fogle cross-pollinated the Van and Bing cherries. The result?

The Rainier cherry.

So bless you, bless you Dr. Fogle, for your exquisite gift to humanity (and to birds, who regularly ate all of our Rainiers despite the best pan-banging efforts of a certain six-year old). Rest in peace.

i have been eating cherries for years and this year all that was at the market was Rainier cherries. I thought they must not be good because of the color. I was use to the dark red ones. Well I got them anyway and now I am hooked! While at the market I lit up when I found them hidden away in a corner away from the dark red cherries. While we were checking out and the cherries came down the belt my eyes once again lit up and I was smiling from ear to ear. The cashier said to me Oh you must like cherries and I responded with ” you have no idea, please be careful with them”

Loved this post! It’s so wonderful to see the joy that a seemingly simple fruit can bring! And I love all the uses for Rainier cherries although they are perfect to eat plain too. I enjoyed the lovely pictures and absolutely must try making the fruit crumble. Have you thought about setting up a http://www.proprofs.com/polls/ poll for your readers? I find them helpful also fun for voting!
