Add the bright, sweet-tart flavor and aroma of red cherries to baked goods, desserts, and drinks. Mix with soda to create homemade cherry cola, or use it to build a variety of cherry-forward beverages. This cherry extract shines in baking—especially in chocolate cakes and fruitcakes—and is equally well suited for sauces, syrups, and candies. Gluten-free and reliable, it holds its cherry flavor through both baking and freezing. When stored properly with a tight cap, it will keep its quality for a year or more.
