Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

They bring water, fibre, acid and colour. Most are 80–95% water, and much of cooking them is really about managing that water.

Where it catches you out

Under a lid they cook in their own water; in a crowded pan they steam. If you want colour, give them room and take the lid off.

The knack

For fruit pudding, weigh fruit and released juice together; drained-fruit values do not describe the whole pot.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Refrigerate unwashed in a bag for 3-5 days; once pitted, keep 1-2 days.

Gluten-free

Plain sour cherry is naturally gluten-free.

Glycaemic index

22 — glucose is taken as 100. Below 55 is low, 56–69 medium, 70 and above high. The number says nothing about portion: at the same index, twice the amount is twice the load.

This value comes from the source’s second table, whose measurements do not meet the ISO 26642 method. Treat it as an indication rather than a precise figure.

Row in the table: Cherries, raw, sour (22)
