Saskatchewan prairie cherries

Saskatchewan prairie cherries are traditional Canadian sour cherries. They can survive temperatures as low as -40C and can be eaten straight from the tree. The cherries are small and grow on short bushes. The fruit is deep red in color and it's ripe from late July to early August.

The flavor is more tart than other traditional sweet cherries. When cooked at high temperatures, they mantain the intense flavor and color. The cherries are often used in cookies and pies, while their juice is combined with beer, whisky, and wine.
