NOTES : Maraschino Cherries

Is that pronounced "mar-uh-SKEE-noh" or "mar-uh-SHEE-noh?" Either

way is fine. Although any cherry will do, these sweet beauties are

generally made from Royal Ann cherries. They are soaked in a sugar

syrup and dyed red or green. The red cherries are flavored with

almond and the green with mint.

Make It Your Way

Green Cherry-Almond Bars are just as attractive as pink ones.
