why are they weighing cherries by "litre"?

I guess you just fill up your bucket and they know how much this is...

sweet cherries at Food Basics.....1.97 lb


Are the ones at ED Smith sour?

Cherries for cooking/baking very expensive.
A good cherry pie aint cheap......if you can find one.

The ones that crack me up r the ones they sell for 2-3 $...that have maybe 12 cherries to the pie...2 per slice and lots of corn starch.

They're measuring by volume, not by weight.


It looks like it's cheaper to buy the pre-picked cherries:

But I guess if you get the pre-picked, then you can't...errr..."cherry pick" the best ones.

I love cherries. Look forward to cherry season every year and then pig out on them. Got some in the fridge right now. They're relatively cheap (and of decent quality) right now at the local Sobeys. The one's at Fortinos aren't as good. Cherry pickin' would make for a decent day out.

I've been a couple of times to the Winona Peach Festival. That's good, too. They've got peach everything. Mmm-mm.

Actually they are not measureing by volume really. They are selling it by the basket. Big basket $26 per basket, small one $20 per basket with $4 discount for the admission/basket. Definitely more worth it w/ the big basket, but you have to pick for quiet a while to fill it up. You can fill as much as you think it will fit in that basket. It comes to about 11lb quiet acurately (I measured it after I came home). give or take a little if you fill it up really high heh. I just came back from there today. It's not about the price, heh. With the gas and the price, I'd better buy them elsewhere. Think of it as just a once in a while activity and at the end of it, you get two big basket of cherries instead.

its a cherry WAR. get ready for lots of pushing and shoving... always a fun time at ED Smith at the Cherry WAR. It's cheaper to buy it at Loblaws, but not half as fun

would they notice if you were somehow----sneaking a few cherries here and there to test them out?

could make for a tasty outing if you wanted to pig out while you pick cherries!

too bad its not near me, we have lots of sugarbushes here though....

LOL I doubt they have guards on watch towers ready to pounce on someone that sticks one of these in their mouth. You might not want to eat them unwashed though, since it's probably covered in pesticides.

today i did this:
eat 2 put 1 in basket`

and i weighed the basket and it was 12.85 lbs

[sparkplug]

That's great there are still U-pick places. Many of the ones in B.C. don't allow people to pick anymore because trees were getting damaged (people pulling off branches), dropping fruit all over the ground, etc.

i went to the cherry avenue u pick place... no admission fee.. it's pretty close to eds not as big but the cherries are sweet

it's like QEW to Ontario st ( the second one )... to green lane.. greenlane south all the way to cherry ave then make a right.. about 2 km you'll see the guys waving you in...

big basket about 12.5 lbs.. cost me 22 bucks.... 6 people went =) and only 1 basket =)

4 for me 1 for basket =) didn't look like they cared if you munched.. even saw people picnicing under the trees =)

i think it's 1.80/lbs or something

[wanted]

Yay, cherry picking.
My favorite way of playing in basketball/hockey/soccer


BTW, are there any seedless?
