Cherry – Erdi Sweet-Tart $24
These are often listed as tart cherries but are a cross between tart and sweet cherries and exhibit characteristics of both. The Erdi cultivars originated from a breeding program in Hungary. These particular cherries were brought over from Yugoslavia by Shantree’s parents about 45 years ago. The ripening period is intermediate between sweet (P. avium) and tart (P. cerasus) cherries, as is the brix level (sweetness). These firm cherries are picked with a dry stem scar and can be stored and eaten out of hand like a sweet cherry. But they have enough tartness for processing into pies, roll-ups, jam, cordials, etc. Tart cherry juice has been found to reduce inflammation and related pain in a study of long-distance runners (Kuehl et al., 2010).
