Have searched the "net" for a source for the above but have only
found a few. However, their product pics show "red" cherries
for black cherry products.

Can some one provide a source for whole "black" cherries ??
Want to use in a cheesecake.

thanks
ray

-You might try looking for Bing cherries. At the moment, they are
available fresh all over the place here in Toronto.

Not really, imported from south of the Equator, where it is now
starting summer in all likelihood. We do not rely on imports from the
U.S. as much as we used to with the availability of air freight via
747s... so I'm seeing lots of fruit from South America, the islands of
the Caribbean, Africa and Asia as well as Australia and New Zealand
here in Toronto all winter long.

I should'a guessed.

I grew up in western NY, and knew they didn't have 'em there. Been living
out here so long, I thought access to those was something unique to living
here.

It's amazing what 4 decades will getcha...(:-o)!

Those are available but they are "red", not black. I've previously
bought "black" varieties and was just looking for the same again.

thanks

Ray,

Traverse City Michigan is the "Cherry Capital" of the US (60% of the pie
cherries used in the US come from there, have huge cherry fest, etc).
Having grown up in NW Michigan with a cherry farm as our neighbor, there
are several places that sell the fruits via the internet. Do a google
or dogpile (www.dogpile.com) search on Michigan cherries or Traverse
City cherries and one of the many cherry farms will allow you to mail
order everything from dried cherries (the sour montmorencey we are used
to in pies to the sweet dark Napoleans and Schmidts) to flash frozen.
Try this page as a good starting poing
http://www.leelanau.com/cherry/products.html

Good luck,
Mary

Mary...

thanks...while none of them appear to have what I'm looking for, I did
leave an e-mail with some of them asking them if they knew of a retail
source.
