Pink Dessert 3/365


Day # 3 May 26, 2009

So... today is Cherry Dessert Day. Idunno, don't ask! I found a few websites that have random and bizarre holidays and this is the holiday for today! The Pink Panther was excited about this one and couldn't wait to eat the cherry pie afterwards! They are unsure about the origins of the "holiday" but here are some useless cherry tidbits...

Sweet cherries are mainly grown in the Pacific coast states and are either sold as fresh fruit or processed into maraschino cherries. Tart cherries (also called pie cherries), are best known as the key ingredient in desserts. They make excellent pies, jams, jellies, preserves and juice. About 75% of the tart cherries in the US are grown in Michigan.
