Ingredients
Cherries. Cherries are a natural product and may contain an occasional pit.
Rainier Cherries are a hybrid, a cross between the Bing and Van cultivars, bred in 1952 at Washington State University.
Developers of the cherry named it after Mount Rainier, a landmark in Washington State. With superior taste and superb flavor, Rainier Cherries are considered "the cream of the crop."
We source U.S.-grown Rainier Cherries with distinctive yellow-and-reddish-orange fruit and dry it to brownish red with sweet flavor for our Rainier Cherries.
Classic recipe
Cherry Pie Filling
Rainier cherries are a premium, lavish summer treat with a brief summer harvest. Keeping our dried cherries on hand provides for delicious, sweet and tart cherry treats any time of year. This sweet pie filling is given a sharp pop of flavor from lemon juice but other flavors like orange or even almond will balance the juicy meatiness of the filling.
