Instructions
If using frozen cherries, take bag out of freezer 10-30 minutes before you start.

Blend until smooth.
Freeze into cubes or store in a jar in the fridge. This puree can stay in the fridge for 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Frozen cherries are the easiest in this recipe, but you can use fresh as well if you have an abundance of cherries. Simple take the pits out of the cherries and toss them into the blender. If using fresh cherries, you may want to let them puree a little longer or use a food mill to finish the puree making sure the cherry skins get completely pureed.This puree is thinner than most when defrosted. If you using it from a frozen cube, let defrost at room temp, there is no need to microwave it. I suggest serving it with other purees that have some texture or depth to them.
