Barbados cherries are highly perishable and may last only a few days after harvest. You can't expect to store fresh cherries for long. For short-term storage, wash them gently to avoid bruising and store them in the refrigerator at 45 degrees.
For long-term storage, you have three options:
- Juice the cherries and freeze the juice: You can freeze cherry puree to use for recipes in the future. Freezing the juice or puree in an ice cube tray will give you portioned amounts to use in smoothies or other recipes.
- Make cherry jam and can it: Keep in mind that the pasteurization process involved in canning may change the color from red to orange or yellow. Using enamel-lined cans can help reduce this effect.
- Freeze the cherries whole: Store frozen cherries at a temperature of 10 degrees. Freezing will preserve the cherries for longer, but the cherries may fall apart when thawed.
