Cherries are one of those ingredients that can work across a wide range of dishes. These vegan cherry recipes make the most of that balance, using the fruit in everything from fresh, everyday meals to indulgent desserts. Cherries also pair especially well with chocolate, grains, creamy ingredients, and warm spices.
Fresh, frozen, and sour cherries can all work well depending on the recipe. Their natural acidity helps cut through richer flavors, while their sweetness adds brightness without overpowering the rest of the dish. That versatility makes them useful well beyond the usual pie filling.
