If you don't know what to cook for your next summer lunch or dinner and you have lots of cherries, try one of our 15+ easy recipes based on this delicious fruit.

We've thought about baked goods like pies, cakes, and clafoutis to serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and quick desserts like frostings or puddings.

Don't forget to save some for garnishing your cocktails as well.

If you can't wait until cherry season, you can also replace fresh ones with canned cherries, or frozen ones – keep in mind the latter can last up to 6-12 months. So, what are you waiting for? Fire up the stove or oven and get ready to taste our delicious cherry recipes.
