Save the fresh sweet taste of summer cherries for later in the year by freezing them. Besides making great use of seasonal produce, freezing cherries when they're in season means that you'll have frozen cherries, which are a delicious snack all on their own. Frozen cherries are also delicious in smoothies and can be added to baked goods just like fresh cherries can.

Start with ripe cherries. Rinse them and pat them dry.
