Sour cherries suffer fewer pests and diseases than sweet cherries, although they are prone to heavy fruit losses from birds. In summer, fruit should be protected with netting. When harvesting fruit, they should be cut from the tree rather than risking damage by pulling the stalks. The newest, biggest, kind of hip thing to do with sour cherries,” said Nikki, “is to turn them into dried cherries. If you were to dry a sweet cherry, it just wouldn’t have the acidity and that distinctive cherry flavor—it would tend to just get sweet and bland.” The French traditionally do not stone the fruits, as the stones give off a subtle almond flavour in baking and keep their shape. If you are serving people who don’t mind negotiating stones, leave them in. For children or anyone who would object, I do stone them. This also allows the brandy and sugar to penetrate the fruit. Felicity Cloake gets around this difficulty by leaving them whole, but crushing the fruits slightly. Please yourself.This recipe is adapted from Michel Roux’s Desserts. It is one of my favourite of all cakes, and all chocolate things, and is especially good with fresh red fruits like cherries and raspberries.

The Romans are credited with populating England with cherries grown from stones spat by legions of soldiers. The cherry’s cultivation, sweet and sour, was encouraged by Henry VIII, and as many as 100 varieties were known to English orchards by the mid-17th century, with a concentration of growers in Kent. This county remains the heart of British cherry growing today, with a seasonal industry built around its imports throughout the British Isles, a scenic “cherry trail”, and plentiful roadside stands (some of which cunningly advertise “ local strawberries and fresh cherries” before the local cherries begin). Someone in that cherry heartland must cultivate the Morello, but if they do, I’ve never found them. BSBI List 2007 (xls). Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland.

Retrieved 2014-10-17.Before the Second World War there were more than fifty cultivars of sour cherry in cultivation in England; today, however, few are grown commercially, and despite the continuation of named cultivars such as 'Kentish Red', 'Amarelles', 'Griottes' and 'Flemish', only the generic Morello is offered by most nurseries. This is a late-flowering variety, and thus misses more frosts than its sweet counterpart and is therefore a more reliable cropper. The Morello cherry ripens in mid to late summer, toward the end of August in southern England. It is self-fertile, and would be a good pollenizer for other varieties if it did not flower so late in the season.
