Freezing Cherries
Homemade Frozen Cherries
My husband is a big fan of freezing cherries. He and my sons eat them like popsicles. I like them too and the plus is.... they are much better for you than popsicles. Freezing is so easy.

| Spread cherries out in a single layer on freezer paper.
Lay another sheet of freezer paper on top of cherries. Spread more cherries out on top of that sheet. I have done up to 3 layers and had no problem. I don't know if I would go too much deeper than that. |

Place pan with layers of cherries in the freezer. When frozen remove from the freezer and place in freezer bags or container. Here's a tip. When you remove the cherries from the freezer lift the top layer of cherries by the freezer paper. use it like a funnel to dump the cherries into your freezer container or bag. |
